The Cal-look Lounge

Let me introduce my latest project... a late model cabrio.
It needs a far amount off work but allready has a nice look.

Plans are;
dechromed
empi 8 spokes
keeping the paint, maybe remove the painting on the decklid?
1700cc engine, color coded  ;D
put a bumper on the front to match the back
...

That's a true survivor  :o

If the decklid is paint and not a vinyl stickers, I think it's better to keep it like that and maybe paint a second decklid if you want to change.

Add red bumpers with hidden bolts. Change the rear visor for baby tornado, Give it the right stance with 145 and 165 (Or 155 and 185-15) on red and polish 8 spoke and it will be just right  ;)

Any pics of the dashboard and interior?

Seems to be a nice project,get it ready for the Freddiefiles.  ;)

it's actually hand painted and must have been alot off work... but the "theme" is kinda gay  ::)

that's the plan! it's allready standing in Ninove as I live there  ;D

if it's a 68 then the rear decklid is wrong, it's a 70 model. Ditch it (it's really ugly) and get the right one for the year...

Color coded bumpers will be ugly too imo, and red empis too.. Sorry JF, i hate 80's look...

I have to agree ::) But I don't mind the 4 vent decklid, just loose the gay air brushing!

Cool project! About that engine lid, all the rows have the same amount of louvers... I have only seen the one time before, at Spa. Can somone tell me what model they are of?

Not sure what year it is, don't have the papers yet... I have the 4-row decklid and a 2-row spare.
Bumpers will be chromed ones, and 8-spokes either black or antracite.

As far as I know they are 1970, maybe 1971 as well, cabrio decklids.

I knew you'd know the right thing to do...  ;)

4 rows witth the same amount of holes are from '70 cabrio only as far as i know...

OK, thanks guys... never seen one over here  :)

If you haven't noticed "gay" is "IN" especially here in the U.S.  ::)
Ask Zach, he knows .

I'm not of a fan of 80's euro look (There is some very nice 80's cal look, but here in Europe it seems that was not a good period  ::) ). But, if it is the theme of the car, I think it's a way to go  ;D

Kind of reminds me of the red 'vert on the cover of a late '80s Bugpack catalog...;D

nah, gay?  ;D

Tried some more little stuff this weekend... what do you guys think?
Painted headlight rings and indicators, or chrome ones.  Imagine a chrome bumper with them.

Some other stuff going on in the workshop...
see tim's thread for more pics  http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,6858.0.html (http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,6858.0.html)

Maybe no bumper at all? Just like Kris Klingaman's...

 I like the painted headlight rim but not too fond of the painted turn signal...

and weld the hole of bumpers bracket and put the lucas at that place  ;)

i'd go for painted headlight rings and indicators.

and KEEP the airbrush! suits you just fine ;D ;)

Painted headlight rings and indicators and NO bumper.  ;)
(my opinion  ;D )

That looks like a killer upgrade!! Looking forward to the mirrors  ;D ;)

lucas indicators, buggy bars? 8)

Chrome bumper with integral indicators 8)
Loose the wing lumps!

I put in a motor for running around the first months, ride height is now acceptabel.
Also removed the rear bumper, and I think it will remain bumperless  8)
Notice the (badly) filled exhaust cut outs, holes from badges etc...
If anyone has a lead for some cheap baby turbo mirrors, let me know!

Since the first snow fell yesterday, we thought it was a good idea to start and put some doors on the workshop.
No more freezing our ass off soon  ;D

 :o That's probably not a bad idea!  ;D

Aren't those the doors from the CB performance workshop you bought via eb*y  :o What a find that was ;D

I know not a lot has been done to this car lately, but I sure have had to push it in and out the workshop a lot  ;D

Watch out for that dog... ;D

cool photo of the survivor guys. shows the age nicely.

No more news ?

It's sold, I'm sure Jelle can fill in the details but I doubt it will become a looker again...  :-\

It's sold,  and has been renamed "pinky"  :o >:(
