The Cal-look Lounge

Found these pictures and thought I would share them with the lounge for a good laugh.  It is actually pre-DKP II, in 1974.  The other picture is after it was put back together at a VW meet in Solvang, CA.[attachment=1]

Newsflash! 145 tyres not great at gripping under heavy braking! ;D

Great photos, although heartbreaking at the time.

That is the wrong way to slam your ride...Ohhhh that sucks!!

Easier to put a couple of bags of cement in the front to lower it as that van doesnt fit

awesome picture!

Awesome pic, thanks for sharing!

  Even the sign above says it all !!!!!


 Frenchy

Hahaha! Good one Frenchy!

I stood still at a red light, slightly uphill, with my old 69 looker. The Volvo 245 estate in front of me started to slowly roll backwards toward my front. My horn did not work so I had to roll bakwards as well in order to avoid the car touching. That worked until I did not have more room and the car touched approx at the same time as the light went green and the Volvo driver decided to find the throttle. It would have had a happier ending if it was not for the tow hitch that was under my front plate between the fenders.

Need to photoshop a cycle cop with tape measure on the VW headlights.  ;)

This is a picture of the group stopping for gas while traveling to the Solvang meet.

Fabian I think this answers your question as posted above

thanks, Hoopty (aka Randy Welch)

richie , i was supposed that , but wasn't sure  ;D

randy i don't want to be boring with my questions ,
but i always like your car , especially because she had big wheels , do you remember the size ??those were 14"??

and is it possible to have some species of your engine , and may be  some picture  and photos from the inside

thx in advance
fabs

Excellent pics! 8) 8)

Fabs,

Questions are fine.....ask away.  The big wheels were 15" with the offset different from front to rear (see the pic in the OP).  I always liked the idea of being different and personalized.  I fashioned my car after some of the gasser race cars of the time.....plexi-glass windows, roll bar, trunk spray interior, no rear seat, buggy bumpers, ect.  This approach was cheap and affordable, as most of us didn't have lots of money back then.  Here are a couple interior pics.

The engine was a 1700, eagle 120 cam, 42mm webers, competition exhaust.

thanks, Hoopty

thx randy  , i really appreciate
it was a 60 euro ragtop?

VDO jet cockpit and it was zolotone treatment on the dash??

Rad car :)

What happened to it?

Hoopty : You make my day .. Thanks for this story .

Those jet cockpits never get old; steller as fuck!

The gauges came from John Lazenby's car.  Harvey got the rims and I got the gauges.

Hoopty

What ever happened to Harvey's car????
Thanks
Dave

Dave, there was a thread on here about it - if I remember right it was written off and replaced with a white one that became more strip based.

the car sold to a certain Dyno , but not the dyno don(MC) another one and he's here on the lounge
if i'm right here's the car when she was white
the wheels were sold to a DKK memeber and put them on old glenn gaskey red convertible

here's the link (http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,2322.msg135964.html#msg135964) about the info i had by the other dyno don

I remember the white car well. Grey zolotone interior, couple of fiberglass seats if I recall & that was about it. One of the 1st fast VW's I ever rode in.

We need more threads like this again!

Don't know if these have been posted before or have been seen in almost 40 years.....but here are a couple of the original rally flyers.  These are the only ones I have because drew them when I was member 'so long ago'.  Enjoy!

Notice the slight bias regarding the bug on the 'Takin it to the streets again!' flyer.

Now THIS is cool! This Thread is really going in the right direction! Hoopty do you have more of your illustrations from back in the days?! Would love to see them!
