Topic: Solved -PJ10- ACS Glas Special by Albrecht R. Claus

[Paul Jaray]

I hope you enjoied it and you can see the utility of that system, when fully operative ('self-built car' tag active, for example...)
And finally this one can go to sleep...

I'll try to translate it, but I'm afraid it will take some time. There's many technical stuff and lots of idiomatic terms in the text.
Any chance that someone of the native speakers finish my raw version later?

Die "Auto - Motor - Sport" nannte ihn "das Ding aus Dingolfing". Gemeint war der in der Mitte der 60er Jahre gebaute Glas 1304 TS.
Der unscheinbare Kraftzwerg war seiner Zeit voraus: Er hatte bereits fünf Gänge und einen Zahnriemen.
Claus Albrecht aus Möhrendorf bei Erlangen war ein Autobastler, der beim 1304 TS die Möglichkeit sah, der Kreativität freien Lauf zu lassen. Er nahm das Glas-Aggegrat und umgab es mit einem Chassis, das er nach eigenem Gusto gestaltete. Als Frontscheibe setzte er die Heckscheibe des VW Karmann 1500 ein, die Trommelbremsen kamen vom Borgward Isabella. Bis vor drei Jahren hatte dieses Fahrzeug TÜV. Freilich wurde es wenig gefahren. Lediglich 36 000 Kilometer beträgt der Tachostand.
Bis dato waren Claus Albrecht und sein Fahrzeug Marke Eigenbau in Dingolfing unbekannt. Nun ist der Wagen bei uns zu bewundern. Er wird ausgestellt am 28. Mai 2017 beim BMW-Familienfest in Dingolfing und am 25. Juni 2017 beim BMW-Jubiläumsfest in Landshut.
Claus Albrecht ist mittlerweile tot und der Wagen befindet sich im Besitz der Stadt Dingolfing. Er ist ein Vermächtnis des Möhrendorfer Autobastlers.

The "Auto - Motor - Sport" called him "the thing from Dingolfing". What was meant was the glass 1304 TS built in the mid-1960s.
The inconspicuous power dwarf was ahead of his time: He already had five gears and a timing belt.
Claus Albrecht from Möhrendorf near Erlangen was a car manufacturer who saw the opportunity to give free rein to creativity at the 1304 TS. He took the glass burr and surrounded it with a chassis that he designed to his own taste. As a windshield he used the rear window of the VW Karmann 1500, the drum brakes came from the Borgward Isabella. Until three years ago, this vehicle had TÜV. Of course, there was little driving. Only 36 000 kilometers is the mileage.
To date, Claus Albrecht and his vehicle brand Eigenbau in Dingolfing were unknown. Now the car is to admire with us. It will be exhibited on May 28, 2017 at the BMW Family Festival in Dingolfing and on June 25, 2017 at the BMW anniversary celebration in Landshut.
Claus Albrecht is now dead and the car is owned by the city of Dingolfing. He is a legacy of the Möhrendorfer Autobastlers.
