Are re-con cranks and new pistons available yet?
The engine has a known weakness so a good one is as important as having a floor in the car. Many folk have started to restore a Zundapp but not many finish one! A shame as they drive well assuming you understand the requirements of the power unit - see LBL Rally results both times. If not it does not last very long. Not idiot proof with lots of spares available like a Goggomobil. I would suggest they are more akin to restoring a Tiger requiring attention to detail and talking to folks to find parts needed. Would I want a finished Zundapp at £25k, no, I will have the money to invest in cheaper crappier cars please. Therefore, as the saying has it, 'I'm out'.
