Title: Late Looker time warp Post by: 71CALRIPPER on June 24, 2010, 07:46:17 am Short story got a call from a mate saying hes just picked up a nice cal look 68 bug, thought nothing of it untill he told me the spec and condition. Left it a week to contact him back but it had already sold pending pick up. Gutted !!! Got a call early this week saying its back up for sale come take a look, well what can I say few alterations to bring it back to standard but its a late lookers dream for me.
Bought it as my daily car ( I dont drive to work ) Got so much History with this car and cant wait to get stuck in...

(http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m38/54oval/08062010006.jpg) Anyway plans are just to update it a little but keep it how it was, I will post more photos later and some of all the plack to show its been too. Hope you like Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: jamiep_jamiep on June 24, 2010, 09:05:16 am Nice!

Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: 71CALRIPPER on June 24, 2010, 10:21:17 am Ahh cheers dude :)
Few odd jobs and she will be right as rain :) Nice seeing some History One thing I am not keen on is the big turbo Muffler Rob Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: vwcab on June 24, 2010, 11:29:54 am Nice car dude,I like it a lot. :)
Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: 71CALRIPPER on June 24, 2010, 11:58:31 am Just doing some reading..It was a Semi Auto soooo shes a Ball joint front end with factory IRS rear end. Not to shabby me thinks :)
Need a different shifter cant stand the Scat shifters so need something period correct..? Rob Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: beetletom on June 24, 2010, 13:42:53 pm scat shifter is period correct to late 80's! but probably a berg would be better?
is the turbo muffler for sale? a twin quietpack would look spot on! 8) if so, how much?? Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: 71CALRIPPER on June 24, 2010, 14:20:33 pm Ello Tom, hmmm Scat I dunno dude just doesnt do it for me, but got a Berg for the 67 doesnt really matter right now though.
The 2110 will prob be sold turnkey so my Mrs can drive the car as well. If it doesnt I will let you know.. Tom any idea how much Empi Bumper Overriders are worth..? Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: roland on June 24, 2010, 14:27:07 pm Those over-riders are cool! they really add to a great looking car I think!
Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: beetletom on June 24, 2010, 17:03:42 pm no idea on the overiders, but guess £50-100?
i'm sure someone on here got a set for £50 or about they suit it though, looks proper us spec got a pic of your new 67?? that 1776 from your old red 67 would of been perfect for this! Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: Lids on June 24, 2010, 17:41:40 pm I think i would just leave it alone, you have a habit of starting something and then selling it!
Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: 71CALRIPPER on June 24, 2010, 19:18:14 pm The overriders are my only gripe, and I have grown up alot and this is my only car soo its got to work to get me about :)
Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: Lids on June 24, 2010, 19:25:10 pm I personally like the over riders, swap the header to a dual set up and it would look perfect. Change the cb tower to perhaps berg or csp. but that's it. Don't do what i keep doing which is to keep upgrading and upgrading and never get it on the road. If you wanna loose the over riders, stick them in a box for a while and see how you feel. Don't flog them. (unless its to me :) )
Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: Nico86 on June 24, 2010, 22:21:36 pm Cool car !

So she followed me home last night, really needs the jetting sorting out cough fart splut then WHOOOOOP lol (http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m38/54oval/IMG_4760.jpg) Uk shows anyone?

The 2110 will prob be sold turnkey so my Mrs can drive the car as well. If it doesnt I will let you know.. Tom any idea how much Empi Bumper Overriders are worth..? I would be interested in a trade with my 1776cc for your 2110. PM me or call if you still have my number! Lee Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: 71CALRIPPER on July 05, 2010, 16:39:14 pm Well just back from Holiday few odd jobs to do before Bug jam but shes all good for her MOT on saturday..
Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: 71CALRIPPER on July 07, 2010, 11:51:36 am MOT on saturday after that will tune and sort the engine..
Then New carpet and if the budget streches a new LHD Padded dash ( but there is not rush ) The Mrs Really doesnt like the Scat shifter and doesnt want a Berg...So a EMPI EZR shifter will do if i can find one. Rob Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: Bryan67 on July 07, 2010, 14:52:55 pm And s different steering wheel would be good too. But hey, it`s your car.
Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: 71CALRIPPER on July 07, 2010, 16:01:26 pm I Agree dude not sure what though dude
Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: streetvw on July 07, 2010, 16:15:37 pm I Agree dude not sure what though dude IMHO one of these would look great in that car (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/streetvw/ebay%20stuff/Nardi%20Classic/DSCN0425.jpg) Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: 71CALRIPPER on July 07, 2010, 20:57:22 pm Where does one find one of these :)
ROb Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: streetvw on July 07, 2010, 23:22:27 pm Where does one find one of these :) ROb you can get one from here http://www.neweraparts.com/Default.aspx?tabid=54&CategoryID=207&List=0&Level=a&ProductID=491 but they ain't cheap at £336 or http://www.nengun.com/nardi/classic-leather-steering-wheels they sem a bit cheaper or you can keep an eye on Ebay it was with much regret that I sold mine on there a couple of years ago another good alternative would be a 3 spoke formuling france wheel now that would be period perfect for your car Title: Re: Late Looker time warp Post by: bluestar on July 08, 2010, 15:42:33 pm some's on E-Bay : NARDI STEERING WHEELS...
