Sweet ´65

[JustinCase]

Just placed my car to the garage for the winter... Been driving it for 2 summers now with front and back lowered and the stock 1300cc at the back. At close to the end of this summer i bought a 1776cc motor, assembled by DooDah, and mounted the engine in my ´65. My goal is to transfer my ride a true cal-looker for the next summer ! By now a have already installed the t-bars and the hot motor from DooDah + ordered some BRM´s from Midland Wheels . Interior is stock but i´m planning to have my car with Jaz-bucketseats, Flat-4 GT steering wheel + a Berg shifter. Here´s a few shots from my progress





Then I also have to put these on their places...


Here´s my goal by from a little help from BugSelecta

I looks like your heading in the right direction. Post more pics as you make progress.

I´ve been out of the garage for a while now, too much work and not enough spare time. But today i got a chance to visit in our garage and fitted the wheels.


Still i got to raise the rear and maybe lower the front a bit. But i also got two more months before the winter is over and the snow will be gone. 

[Diederick/DVK]

it's got great potential, and the brms work nicely with the colour. what's the name of the shade?
but what are those things above your bugselecta pic?

[JustinCase]

Thanks Diederick ! Actually i don´t know the colorcode of my car, previous owner did the paintjob before i bought it. I have to put a better picture of the car, so you can really see what it looks when outside. Those "things" comes under the cylinders, because i no longer have the original cylinder cover plates.

[Diederick/DVK]

ah ok, i'd never seen that kind.
well, i can't fit anything that large under the cylinders i guess due to my merged header.

keep up the good work. get that back end up, lower the front and tad and you've made a giant leap forward 

[JustinCase]

Thank´s for the encouragement ! From here you can see the paint a bit better. That´s a nice row of ´65 bugs.

[Diederick/DVK]

looks like ruby red to me.

[JustinCase]

Yep, that´s what i think also. I kind of remember that the previous owner said he painted it in original color. Anyway, i think it looks good. That´s the most important thing.

Found one more pic of my car, this is from last summer. Show´s a little bit better the paint job.
