Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: BeetleBug on November 26, 2014, 13:06:56 pm Have I told you guys that I dig light blue cars?
Looking forward to your updates! Best rgs BB Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on November 27, 2014, 17:50:39 pm Thanks guys!
Here`s what me and my Dad started with: Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on November 27, 2014, 18:16:09 pm First the Bug was restored and build more stock.
But I´ve visited more and more Shows and read as much Dub-magazines as I could. So I decided it has to belowered. Nearly every winterseason I changed the wheels. ...I have a quirk for wheels and steering wheels. :D Here are some Pics: Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on November 27, 2014, 18:21:34 pm What wheels do you like on it?
Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: baz on November 27, 2014, 18:28:43 pm Nice bug, the gold wheels look great with that light blue, also a big fan of gasburners i think a set in flat dark grey would look great with that colour too.
Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: karl h on November 27, 2014, 19:14:48 pm i like the sprint stars
Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: andy198712 on November 27, 2014, 19:21:31 pm i wonder how satin black steels would look?
how did you lower that? one outer spline or two at the rear and front? looks great! Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Pedalpusher on November 28, 2014, 07:58:12 am Gasburners, yes!
Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: jick on November 28, 2014, 18:48:16 pm cool car dude.....I've always been a fan of gold Empi 5's.....
Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on November 28, 2014, 22:19:44 pm Thanks, at the Moment I like the Sprint Stars the most. But I´m thinking about detailed 16" Fuchs with 6 & 7" width.
May I play with a set of chromed steelies. ::) I´m not sure about the lowering in the back. It was done by a friend and I think it`s one outer spline. THe plan for this winter is to Change the rear lights and Change the antenna. I like the old split antennas in the Center of the windshield... Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on February 26, 2015, 13:44:04 pm Just a small update:
I picked up a front Hood from an Oval Bug for cheap. The plan is to weld up the trim holes and to make it ready for paint. I´d like to change the front Hood cause my Bug has no side trim. It`s a little more cal look. 8) I hope next week I can spend so more time in the Garage... :( Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on May 05, 2015, 14:41:18 pm I tried the chromed steelies yesterday. I have two 4,5x15" at the front and two 5,5x15" at the rear.
But after installing them I didn´t like it. :-\ I thought I would look great, but I prefer the Empi`s... (the 4,5" are Lemmerz stamped 11/57) 8) Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on May 21, 2017, 20:23:32 pm Today I tried some new wheels on my Bug...again. ;D These are centerline copies made bei American Racing Wheels (AEW). Size is 5,5"x15". At the moment the tires are 185/55-15 in front and 195/65-15 at the back. I´m not sure if they suit my car. What´s your thought? Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Andrew on May 21, 2017, 21:36:20 pm Well I liked the Lemmerz :-[
Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Tobi/DFL on May 22, 2017, 06:41:52 am I love it!
Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: thehanz DVK on May 22, 2017, 17:14:56 pm I really liked the golden 5 spoke's
Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on May 23, 2017, 06:50:21 am Thanks Guys!
The Lemmerz are still my favorit. I still have another Option... I should give it a try ;D Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Neil Davies on May 23, 2017, 17:19:15 pm The fake centerlinest really suit it - a definite mid 80's look to it!
Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: brewsy on June 14, 2017, 22:36:03 pm Nice car!
Definitely the Sprint Stars... :D ;D :D Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on June 16, 2017, 06:19:47 am Thanks brewsy!
I think I´ll Keep the Sprint Stars. But when the golden BRM´s are ready I´ll send new pics. Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on June 22, 2017, 11:52:03 am I had this Hirschmann Redtip Antenna laying around for quite a while.
And with just some days ahead of Hessisch Oldendorf I thought I´d give it a try. The old antenna was put in the Garage and I had to drill two holes. But I really like the result. Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on August 09, 2017, 06:43:02 am Wheels again....
I didn´t like the look of the polished BRM-Repros I got. Hence I tried sprayfoil in gold but again I dislike the look. Time to sell them. :( The Sprint Stars are still the best at the moment in my opinion. Tobi Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on March 26, 2020, 08:07:22 am ...stay home and work on your VW...
At the moment I'm trying to mount the correct taillights in my Bug. Way better than the newer ones. 8) Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Neil Davies on March 26, 2020, 13:05:36 pm I don't know if it's just the camera angle, but it does look like the new (correct!) taillights point outwards. They've not been cut for a buggy, have they?
Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on March 27, 2020, 09:03:38 am Yes, from this pic it looks like the taillights point outwards, but I hope I´ve positioned them correct.
I`ll upload a better picture soon. Then the taillights are painted to match the blue. Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on April 04, 2020, 09:51:19 am So I hope the taillight-position is ok.
I tried some new wheels as well. The centercolor could be a bit darker...what do you think? Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: FredH17 on July 07, 2020, 15:05:03 pm Nice bug, lovely color !
I would prefer the Gasburners...but thats just my humble opinion ;D Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Larry S on October 27, 2020, 13:27:10 pm Great looking car, I prefer the last pic but nice car with any rim choice.
Larry Title: Re: Lightblue 60`Ragtop Post by: Steve67 on October 29, 2020, 16:37:06 pm that's a lot of wheels for one car ;D
I like the 16 inch Fuchs with black center and the 5 spokes most on your car. |
