Title: Cal-look and resto look Fords! Post by: Lids on September 25, 2008, 08:34:51 am I spotted this on another forum, and it needed to be shared.
opinions guys, does this mean you can cal-look anything? http://restowagenuk.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=10915 Title: Re: Cal-look and resto look Fords! Post by: Jesse/DVK on September 25, 2008, 09:23:15 am You can give any old car the nose-down dragsters stance, but I won't call it cal-look, because it didn't start in California.

Title: Re: Cal-look and resto look Fords! Post by: Nico86 on September 25, 2008, 14:55:25 pm That can be called muscle car look, 70's sport style, old-school or anything you want. It looks nice but cal-look is only for an air-cooled vw. You can of course makes something nice with most of the old cars, but a cal-look is a cal-look, and it's a vw.

Anyone remember Street Machine magazine in the late 80's - that had renderings of a Moris Minor Traveller in black on Empi 8-spokes and a Rover P6 in Porsche raspberry with polished Fuchs! :o Title: Re: Cal-look and resto look Fords! Post by: LuftsickTero on September 26, 2008, 14:00:27 pm That article just gives me the creeps.
Sorry for the offtopic (and yeah the thread should be moved), but here's one of the very few examples of European Fords that I like (to watch, not to own): (http://www.kuvia.1g.fi/kuvat/Tapahtumat%202007/BurnOutParty2007/25.8_07-577.jpg/_medium.jpg) (http://www.kuvia.1g.fi/kuvat/Tapahtumat%202007/BurnOutParty2007/25.8_07-019.jpg/_medium.jpg) I quite like them :-[ Me too fella ;D Gotta be a 2 door though, and minilites are always good 8) If I remember correctly that Vauxhall ran 11-second times and was a tow-vehicle for the his faster race car which was a turbo-charget Moskvitš. Now there's a guy who can think outside the box. (http://www.kuvia.1g.fi/kuvat/Tapahtumat%202007/BurnOutParty2007/25.8_07-580.jpg/_medium.jpg) Title: Re: Cal-look and resto look Fords! Post by: ESH on September 26, 2008, 14:45:20 pm ... That article just gives me the creeps ... :o ;D ... Sorry for the offtopic (and yeah the thread should be moved), but here's one of the very few examples of European Fords that I like (to watch, not to own) ... You would probably like this thing then, ran 9's on a 1.8 BDA motor. It changed to Cosworth power in the last couple of years but it was one hell of a car, still is but the old motor gave it an extra something.
