Yeey! I think this (Cal-look Lounge) is my type of forum for my project! See you around!  My "intentions" for this car is: Like they have put this car of the racetrack into storage in the mid 70s! Rolled out of storage, to see the light of day 2012! =) The car is modified and built in its first version in the early 80s of northern Sweden. Iv’e called this owner 6 mounths ago and talked about the car. Which he remember very well! The pre-owner promised to look after some old pics of the car! The role-model of my Gasser is Small Wonder & Inch Pincher II and a little of the Lightning Bug II! Roofchopp on my car is very similar to Small Wonder except the splitwindow! Over time iv’e changed my thoughts of the color on my car. Cause now we have Lightning Bug I & II, Fourplay, The Painter, Der Express and some other blue gassers! So my choice is the old 70s Volvo color called; bluegreen metallic Nickname on my car: Yes! And the engine/tranny? Sorry Volks, to early to speculate this far. But I can give you an hint that there is gonna be a screamer engine (1776/1835/1915cc) in it next year! this year we can say, is a "display/mock-up year"! I really now what i want with this car, and that is what you get! |

Yes indeed HERB! But in this moment, the engine for my car is "secondary"! The authentic look/style is primary! =) |
