Title: Pastel-Blue 61' Post by: CallookPastel on April 29, 2013, 12:29:34 pm Hi everybody. My name is Jordan, I'm 18. I come from northeast of France, near from Germany-Luxembourg and Belgium.
I'm in the Vw Scene since I was 6 years old, when my father bought me my first Vw Mag. I'm a Cal Look fan, that's why I'm here ;D This is my ride: (http://i.imgur.com/dEyoZM4l.jpg) (Thanks to "Speedwell" for the pic ;) ) My parents bought me this beetle in 2003, I was 9 years old. Since this day, she doesn't left me. We restored it, my father and me, during 3 years. (2005-2008) I will give you some picts of the restoration soon ;) So, we painted it on his original color, Pastel Blue L391. At first, she was Vintage, after we made it OldSpeed, and now, since 1 year, I decided to make it Callook, because I love that. I choose to put Flat 4 Enkei 5 spokes wheels, with 145R15 tires front, and 205/70/15 tires rear. I also choose to put T-Bars (Cal Look rules :P), and a 4in1 header with a Phat muffler. She will receive a double T-Bird ceramic soon ;) She recently received a brand new interior, from "Harrington", on grey vinyl, and a new white vinyl headliner. I also put an original "Berg Rally 99' " shifter. This winter, she also received a new restored engine. A 1600cc single port, with 1600cc Mahle kit, and Engle 100 AAC. I choose to do an US style, so it received US Lights (front and rear) and an US Style license plate, with a Original plate frame from "Trans Ocean Motors", Pasadena. So, I think I said the most important. I will give you some other picts soon. Thanks Title: Re: Pastel-Blue 61' Post by: CallookPastel on April 29, 2013, 18:40:12 pm Some other pictures :)

Title: Re: Pastel-Blue 61' Post by: CallookPastel on June 30, 2014, 17:53:08 pm Hi everybody!
Sorry I don't gave news of my car since some many times ... Not too much time to stay in the forums ... Since the last post, I still continued to try to make look my bug as much as possible like a Good Old Days Cal Look :) Here is some pictures taken by my friend Tom Wheatley, thanks to him! ;) (http://i.imgur.com/63mMN34l.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/gsXEo21l.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/CG5EM2dl.jpg) Title: Re: Pastel-Blue 61' Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on July 02, 2014, 09:56:34 am Perfect Pics offen an really nice Bug!! 8) 8)
Title: Re: Pastel-Blue 61' Post by: Stephen schmidt on July 02, 2014, 18:40:29 pm looks great!
Title: Re: Pastel-Blue 61' Post by: CallookPastel on July 02, 2014, 19:53:01 pm looks great! Perfect Pics offen an really nice Bug!! 8) 8) Thanks :) Let's talk about my wheels choice ;) I always wanted to put an old model of wheels in my bug, especially OG Empi 5, but they are still to expensive for me. So I decided to put old American Eagles wheels that looks as much as possible like the real Empi 5 models. Wheels are looking good, some little scraps on 2, but they are approximately 25-30 years old (I think ... If somebody could help me about this it could be cool ;D ). It looks like they never were repainted, so they have the OG and patina look that I was looking for :) (http://i.imgur.com/dySDbOul.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/obeKizBl.jpg) Just polishing a little bit edges, and it looks good! (http://i.imgur.com/WhGRD87l.jpg) OG American Eagles Hub Caps were really not in good shape, so I put 4 "Empi", awaiting to find 4 new American Eagles ... I also decided, always on the way to look like in the good old days, to put 4 vintage looking tires. So I added 4 Michelin tires, XZX models to the front (145's), and XWX models to the rear (205/70's), that looks perfectly with my old wheels... (http://i.imgur.com/fWjULm3l.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/MzxexK7l.jpg) Don't hesitate to tell me your advices about my choices :) Title: Re: Pastel-Blue 61' Post by: VWGlassee on July 10, 2014, 14:14:28 pm I like it! Saw the car at Hangarz CalLook edition! Love it! 8)
Title: Re: Pastel-Blue 61' Post by: CallookPastel on January 11, 2015, 15:43:43 pm Still trying to look like in the good old days :)
I wanted to add more black touches on the car. I decided to repaint my American Eagles in dark grey: (http://i.imgur.com/BWwVqVil.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/PSurXGhl.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/zgxG90Cl.jpg) Windows trims removed: (http://i.imgur.com/wSbaOfAl.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/mXeXCmvl.jpg) Black Talbot interior mirror: (http://i.imgur.com/F2VOFUHl.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/Kbd7rSdl.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/lA1MfPEl.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/UXeImmrl.jpg) And here is the result: (http://i.imgur.com/2Uq0Slnl.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/2r2Wa0Ml.jpg) Next step, find a black and chrome radio for the dashboard... Title: Re: Pastel-Blue 61' Post by: Steve67 on January 12, 2015, 20:00:50 pm great car, love the selfmade glasspack muffler
