Hi all,
After more then 8 years in a wet garagebox where it freezes in wintertime and is to hot in the summer, my 1966 callook bug is back at home in my warmed garage. I own this car since 1994 and it is restored since 1997 and I feel it is time to tread it a little more with car now.
The golf6 has to sleep outside know, but then again, that's a company car, so I should not mind.

you should post a bit more pics of your car. it is actually a remarkably 'subtle callook' car (the ones with bumpers and trim,...). one of the nicer ones in it's genre in Belgium. ![Wink](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

@ Nicolas: Thank you very much for this nice comment. Sometimes I want to sell the car and build a new one, but when someone with your taste of callook gives some sweet comment like that, me and my car are meant to stick together forever. ![Grin](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/grin.gif) @ Wout: Maybe we should do this. Xavier mentionned some years ago that he wanted to feature my car for Boxertje, if he still wants this, you can take the pictures ![Wink](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Philip Flatline Lowriders

I will take some interior shots and it maight be a good idea to post some pictures for the beginning up till today. The outside of the car always remained the same, but the dash did change a bit over the years. I'm a vintage VDO pervert, so now I got the dash I wanted. I come back on this when I have acces to all my pictures at home.

Hi all,
I took some pictures of the dash as it is right now and will stay forever :-) The Empi GTV steering wheel was a wedding gift from my wife Eva, with who I'm married since 12 years (anniversary today!!), Shifter is a Early Bergshifter and all the VDO gauges are working perfectly.

Hi everybody, How nice is this to get a revival of my car after so many years it was actually finished (1997!). @ Tero: thanks for the nostalgia pictures. The first one shows me when I was waiting for Ivan Mc Cutcheon to get the car featured for Volksworld. I think it was 1999 or 2000. I had no kids at that time and my oldest son is 8 now! I do remember that I used this particular picture to communicate to my friend that I had bought a new project: the 1957 Ghia. @ Wout: Good things come to those who wait ![Wink](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/wink.gif) @ Pupjoint: I will take some shots, but nothing special there, I decided on the interior in 1996 and there was not much available for my budget, so stock TMI beige seatcovers went on. I will replace the seatpads this winter to sit a little more confortable :-) @ DKK Fred: I doesn't take a 1967 to create something nice, although I would love to own a 1967 on day, but when I bought this car in 1994, 1967 beetle weren't that hot at that time. I was more then happy then, that it was a before 1967 model, so I didn't need to change wings and decklids to make it older ![Grin](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Thanks to Philips '66 I got in love with Cal-Look beetles. I think this is a nice example of a classic callook car, wich is timeless and an inspiration for a lot of other cars! And after 13 years it still looks as good as in 1997. Just one small mistake about the year, one year to old ![Smiley](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Just kidding!! Thanks Philip!

I've had two 1966 Bugs and enjoyed them. To me, '66-'69 were the best four years for these cars.
