Title: Sweet ´65 Post by: JustinCase on November 18, 2007, 03:51:23 am Just placed my car to the garage for the winter... Been driving it for 2 summers now with front and back lowered and the stock 1300cc at the back. At close to the end of this summer i bought a 1776cc motor, assembled by DooDah, and mounted the engine in my ´65. My goal is to transfer my ride a true cal-looker for the next summer ! ;) By now a have already installed the t-bars and the hot motor from DooDah + ordered some BRM´s from Midland Wheels . Interior is stock but i´m planning to have my car with Jaz-bucketseats, Flat-4 GT steering wheel + a Berg shifter. Here´s a few shots from my progress

Post more pics as you make progress.

But i also got two more months before the winter is over and the snow will be gone. ;D Title: Re: Sweet ´65 Post by: Diederick/DVK on January 10, 2008, 16:53:32 pm it's got great potential, and the brms work nicely with the colour. what's the name of the shade?
but what are those things above your bugselecta pic? Title: Re: Sweet ´65 Post by: JustinCase on January 10, 2008, 17:10:05 pm Thanks Diederick ! Actually i don´t know the colorcode of my car, previous owner did the paintjob before i bought it. I have to put a better picture of the car, so you can really see what it looks when outside. Those "things" comes under the cylinders, because i no longer have the original cylinder cover plates.
Title: Re: Sweet ´65 Post by: Diederick/DVK on January 10, 2008, 17:13:26 pm ah ok, i'd never seen that kind.
well, i can't fit anything that large under the cylinders i guess due to my merged header. keep up the good work. get that back end up, lower the front and tad and you've made a giant leap forward ;) Title: Re: Sweet ´65 Post by: JustinCase on January 10, 2008, 17:27:05 pm Thank´s for the encouragement ! From here you can see the paint a bit better. That´s a nice row of ´65 bugs. ;D

Title: Re: Sweet ´65 Post by: JustinCase on January 10, 2008, 17:33:20 pm Yep, that´s what i think also. I kind of remember that the previous owner said he painted it in original color. Anyway, i think it looks good. That´s the most important thing. ;D
