Ive been lurking since I bought my new bug so thought it was time to say hello.
I recently bought a new bug, a nice 67 Cal Look originally built by Gary Richards and I got of Mike Joy, both members of the Green Hearts
Potted history - first car was a 1303 (20 odd years ago), painted guards red, lowered and detailed marathon wheels, then a 1971 that i respired Porsche Rot Brun, sprint starts followed by Polished Fuchs (wish I kept those...) and then went down a Porsche route (currently have a 991 GT3) but hankered after a proper Cal Look beetle and one that was rotting into the ground... I needed something I could play with rather than the GT3 and do some of the shows and some strip action next year.
So I got this

Since purchase I have done some simple tweaks, got a spare wheel/tyre, new wipers, redone the idle and also got a full set of 5.5/6 inch Fuchs that I will restore as a spare set (maybe put slicks on this set) and also plan an a Bernard Newbury "Fat Biscuit" interior
So hello all
