IFA thread! (wartburgs, trabbi's etc.) part 2!

[bodieanddoyle]

well I have been gleaning the net of fine IFA picage. thats IFA as in the DDR mini equivalent of GM ( ) who were trabant, wartburg, barkas and framo.
some oif these are reposts, but most aren't, I made a new IFA section in my photobucket. I'll post a few per post to give you a chance to comment on the barking ones ;D feel free to add
in the words of manfred man- 5-4-3-2-1!


this and the next few have been mooching around my 'bucket for a while...




e21 steels!











as unsual, lots more to come

[bodieanddoyle]

bit of an odd mix up on the styling, but I think this has a pretty special engine, more on that later


MPV


don't care about the bad boy, the stance rocks!




one I chopped earlier...


there is a trabant in this pic, honest. the laydee is actually the owner builder of it!!


pure p0rn!

more at the door!

[bodieanddoyle]

need more! I only have two tantalising shots of this, it rocks!


too orangey for crows?


it has wartburg inside tho. wart triples go straight on trabbi boxes


the infamous rennpappe 601 with tuned wartburger triple inside




lowered sweetie!


ultimate rat trabbi!


its soo good!

[bodieanddoyle]

got camber?


ultimate exhuberance for a commie state- their own sports car! melkus rs1000 uses the wartburg 353 front end in the rear.


love 'em!


when smoke gets in your eyes....


and theres the wart in the rear...


not sure whats going on here, not a melkus but rear engined wart based...


make that twin wartburg based! twin motors on the same box!


melkus OOOOOFFFFF!!!!

[bodieanddoyle]

yeeha!




framo! how huge is this? consider it runs a wartburg triple and now tell me how big it seems....






simple slam




caged animal


looks great on azevs

[bodieanddoyle]

smooth front looks great, but not sure about it in some way




ooof!

[bodieanddoyle]

odd colour scheme works!








smoothies rat and camber, can it get better?






not all warts had two smokes, late ones got 1.3 polo engines. this one sporting twin 40's


another traburg

[bodieanddoyle]

love this


I'll slip an odd one in, trabant engined bsa scrambler!!


found by robinxr4i


yeah, sue me.


looking at the wind jammer, I geuss its just towed in that caravan!!!


allwight!


just because, 353 cabrio


wartburg 311 (maybe 312) with a polo engine grafted in from a late 353, madness!

[bodieanddoyle]

sexy 312


312 camping! love the green perspex roof windows.


311 coupe


this one is real early




banded steels sir?


and I found a wartburg for seth! needs his touch tho

[sootyridesagain]

I test drove a Wartburg 2-stroke once. Really odd drive. Sounded like a formula 1 car, but weirest thing was the freewheel transmission. I.E when you take your foot off the throttle the engine is back to tick over!! Wish i'd bought it now!!!

[bodieanddoyle]

see where you've been...




w353 rc works type rally car. put out 115bhp+ back in 1975

have to dash, but more later

enjoy for now

[Paul H]

Cool pics! Also very interesting to see how the styling developed on the Wartburgs

[dollywobbler]

Excellent. That twin-engined thing is crazy. Two-stroke V6! I prefer the looks of the Trabi so a Wartbant or Traburg is exactly what I want. Nay, need!

But is all this just a distraction? How's YOUR Warty doing?

[WillCarter]

Awesome, but you know what I think of them.

[bodieanddoyle]

hang on to your hats guys n' gals, here comes part deux!


oh so seventies livery


look carefully. that is a wartburg triple on home brew bosch k-jet injection must have a fairly weak spring as two strokes aren't known for inlet manifold vacuum.




and we just got wierder. wartburg 353 6 wheel car transporter




what a combo, works rally car and crazy transporter

more incoming!

[gotwood]

This has got to be one of the best threads I've seen on here for ages Love em , especially the mouldy cambered up wart !

[bodieanddoyle]

super rare uber late tourist, must be 88/89 vintage! can only be a handful ever sold.


rear angle looks ok, I've saved you the horror of the front tho


a scene wartburg?




bonkers wartburg prototype, looks like a fulvia zagato front on jonnysomersets datto!


ooff! in transport


undecided.


smooth! custom made from the states, these cost a whopping $1600!


8jx15's




remember I mentioned the pink one having a special motor? here it is. look hard and you will see the stock igniton amp for late electronic igniton cars, but also mounted further down on the inner wing is a bosch ecu like vws have. and then we also have an airflow meter going into the stock airbox. EFI 2 STROKE!!!!

[bodieanddoyle]

some shoppery from someone on here.


modded trabant tramp!


thats what a 13" drop looks like!






p50 I beleive, OOOFFF!!!


I love those rims

[bodieanddoyle]

sexiest trabant ever!!




how much less than a splittie?


awesome shot!


more barkas action


and more twin engined lunacy


check the relocated rad, nessecary to get those expansion chambers in (not where mine are going).


three nipples. sucky-sucky noises!
