Title: 67 Cal bug Post by: TheNick80 on April 24, 2009, 06:54:24 am Hello everyone,
I thought I would introduce myself and my car. My Name is Nick, I've been catching up on all the posts for a while now. I know a couple of you here and have spoke with a few very nice people here. My car is a 1967 Us standard beetle. The exterior is stock, (lights, and trim minus the bumpers.) I added T-bars, 5 bolt Ansen Sprints, 3" narrowed beam w/ 2.5" drop spindles. Rear is stock height. 1776 40 w/ dells, A1 sidewinder, full flow and cooler. The Trans is stock 1-4 with a 3.88:1 r/p. I Re-wired the car with a Wiringworks loom. Old bugpack t handle shifter, sometimes I swap out the factory steering wheel with a grant GT wood grain wheel. Hopefully Next year she will get a full makeover.

Title: Re: 67 Cal bug Post by: javabug on April 24, 2009, 12:57:10 pm Hmmm weird color. :D
Cool car, looks like it sits real nice. I think I've said this before, but the Ansens work for me! Title: Re: 67 Cal bug Post by: Diederick/DVK on April 24, 2009, 12:59:55 pm the ansens make it look like a helluva tough ride!

I am surprised There aren't more ansens on cal lookers. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. It seems like a 20 to 1 ratio to BRM's (haha) at the shows. Nico86 shared some pics he has found. I have disc brakes for the front and T3 rear drums for the rear, I wasn't sure if the 4 lug mags would change the look. Some have more of a dish to them vs. the flatter 5 lug wheels. Javabug hows you car? Title: Re: 67 Cal bug Post by: speedwell on April 24, 2009, 16:46:54 pm Thanks Guys!!! ;D ;D ;DI am surprised There aren't more ansens on cal lookers Title: Re: 67 Cal bug Post by: TheNick80 on April 24, 2009, 16:52:28 pm Beautiful, keep um coming!!

Fair. Needs some love this year. There's some extra horsepower just around the bend, as well. Title: Re: 67 Cal bug Post by: TheNick80 on April 27, 2009, 04:33:19 am Ahhh, extra horse power is always needed. We were coming back from a show today, headed south on the freeway, I was trying to keep up with my buddies 2332 powered giha, A 62 rag top with a 1915 and a Glass roadster. Man those guys were cookin'. My little 1776 kept up, crusig at about 3300 rpm. But I think its time to put the 82mm crank on the shelf to use.
Also scored a late model vented deck lid to cut in the vents on a 67 lid at the show today. It was very nice today. Title: Re: 67 Cal bug Post by: TheNick80 on May 16, 2009, 03:09:06 am Albert Mirrors, cal Look?? not cal look??

Looks good to me, as long as you don't put them in front of the car. They are in their right place. ;) Title: Re: 67 Cal bug Post by: Bryan67 on November 26, 2009, 21:26:05 pm Hey, are you ready to buff out that paint yet?
