The Cal-look Lounge

Hi guys, I was just wondering what your view was on this. Yesterday I was reading a thread on the samba about a late model rometsch that had been found in the states in a bit of a mess and was for sale. I thought about it being dipped at the front and wearing 5 spokes, but Im not sure! I guess they were never really raced so would look a bit wierd?

I know there was the heb over here wearing sprints and I thought it was cool.

Any views?

As long as it is done in good taste I don't have a problem with modifying rare cars. Really, unless the car is hacked up beyond repair in the process there is nothing that can not be undone.

Flat4 in Japan have/had a black Rometsch lowered on Raders with a period motor in it. Looked cool.

and blue nelson added real brms on his rometsch

Hell yes. They dont all need to be stock.

Simon, any pictures of the rometsch? A vintage road race look could be cool. Some 356 wheels, slight lowering job, spartan interior with period gauges, etc Nothing over the top, but a nice car that actually would have been raced back then.

I don't think Blue owned that one, he borrowed it for the weekend :)

this one? this is the motor that was in it I only have a Stock picture of the outside here is a red cal look

future favorit is a cal look schwimmwagen , for the strip , with 4WD for better traction !!!

ersnt i was there at vw euro when you cam with the coolmuller , and my question the front was built with  split window parts ??? because he had the air trap on the front quarter panel ????
and i was the chance to go with you to take a little cruise  in the camping with the KAISERSLAUTERN COUPER do you still own the car now ??? and how many where produced  ::)

the coolmuller was one of the latest hebs that built by karmann with the saved parts after the factoryfire at hebmüller . they "updated" the front section with 51 parts .
restored in mexico , found by a redneck and shiped over for small money...

sevenum - vw euro - was great fun there to park it in the "split windowsection" and waiting for the judges .
the -  low budget lowering kit-  with everything from the garage that have weight was after the rating everybodys talk this weekend...wuahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
funny comments from the vintagecollectors also and a japanese who thinks it is a replica , after showing him the rust in the engine cover he shots thousends of pics like japanese do this at a journey...
parked now in museum with all his stock equipment

the kaiserslautern coupe is a one off , its the only one in the world an now in the hands of a local volkswagen collector

coachbuilt busses are also a good basic for funny toys...

Ernst, that picture of you and Walter with the dolls got me banned from photobucket  :D

Then there was this one built by a friend here in Arizona.  It was suppose to be a chopped Heb styled after the Heb prototype.  Check out the photos of the build.

i enjoy the white hebb ant brown other one with sprintstar wheels :P

i think he sold it to someone in belgium, who put SA sprints on it  :o :-X :-\

love the white heb, never seen that one before!
anyone got pics of the flat 4 heb on real brm's?

here's the car last year at freddy files 2006 , now the car is a LHD and yes she ran on SA rostyles rims

The Pauls brown heb looks awful now  :(

just found this one ;)

what do you think about the ex kubel from manuel (gezuvor)  8)

I think SA sprints are rubbish! The kubel looks pretty cool though. It would be kind of neat to have one on a late model pan (whilst you restore the original!) with nice wheels!

Heres the link to that rometsch thread.
