Title: Before & afters Post by: Coxy on July 04, 2009, 15:39:04 pm I'd love to see what you started with and ulimately how they ended up. I am about to start on a Cal Look project so inspiartion would be great ;)
My GT Beetle is not Cal Look but with it's 1835cc engine and the Cal Look stance it's getting shortly should keep me happy until my Cal Look is finished. So lets see your before & after shots people :) Title: Re: Before & afters Post by: Coxy on July 04, 2009, 15:45:41 pm As my Cal Look isn't ready I'll start with my friends '67 here in Ireland. Thankfully Ivan and the Volksworld team have given me a job as contributor and one of my first jobs was photgraphing and writing on this stunning Irish Cal Look.

Rick Mortensen Title: Re: Before & afters Post by: Coxy on July 07, 2009, 09:15:29 am They were sourced through a supplier here in Ireland and are for a later car but were modified by Oliver (the owner) prior to final welding.
Title: Re: Before & afters Post by: Coxy on July 07, 2009, 12:10:31 pm Here's another Irish based car. Originally restored and given the resto cal treatment by Foxy, a member of the Restowagen UK Forum. He did an amazing job of turning this rotten Marathon Bug into a show worthy resto cal. The car was then bought by Wayne McCarthy in Ireland and has now been given the Cal Look stance.

Title: Re: Before & afters Post by: Coxy on July 07, 2009, 17:18:03 pm Yeah, the new stance has totally transofrmed the look of the car.
