This one circa 1988, still have it, my red bug



And this one a 68 stick shift, bought for 35 pounds, the dash used to move when you slammed the doors,! Biggest POS I've owned!

So which car did you spend hours taking the engine out from above? 🙄

a 1946 Chevy Panel -- kinda looked worse than this one -- previous owner had cut huge holes in the side panels to put windows in, but discovered he had cut the holes about a foot to big LOL -- bought it for $50, drove it for 3 years and sold it for $35....... Never changed the oil! LOL

A 1989 To#¤ta pickup... 22-re with a top-end rebuild, 5 speed, 4x4. Bone-ass stock, base model without a tach, non-functioning AC, and a bench seat. I've driven 40-horse bugs with more get-up-and-go than that poor old truck, but that didn't stop me doing everything I could to destroy it. Overheated once or twice, blew the rear diff to smithereens, rear-ended someone with it, ran it into things for fun, and took it much further than I ever had a right to. Then my brother inherited it for a year, the transmission and starter went out, and it had to go away. Last I saw, it was sitting on the street on a freezing cold night in Downtown Denver about two years ago, looking much worse for the wear, but still covered in at least a few of our stickers. I still keep an eye out for it, my brother and our old friends have talked several times about taking out loans if we get the chance to get it back... Too many good memories to count. I think it'd make a perfect third car after my '67 and my lifted Subaru...

My car is what it is, maybe not Cal Look per the books, but it's more than most.

A 1302 which did quite a bit of work on;



- Painted Porsche Indischrot
- ATS 5.5" rims with 185/85 tires
- Huge stereo stuck on grunge music
- 1835ccm engine, twin dells, W120 cam, ported heads

Great fun! Remember very well a surf trip to Denmark where we lost one mate to some girls on the ferry cruise over from Norway. He was not to be seen anywhere when they started to let the cars off the ferry. I quickly changed CD to Iron Maiden and cranked the volume up to max. It was so loud that the rear window popped out but at least he found the car just in time before it was our turn to leave.

I sold the car to a doctor but it turned out he was found of drinking. Sold it on a Friday and on Saturday evening he crashed into two new Chevrolet Starcraft vans and one of them mid ship. He managed to hide and since the car was still registered on me I had to pay for the damages. Or more precisely, my insurance company. I went on a trip just hours after selling the car. First to the Roskilde Festival then to some German islands to do some wind surfing and I was away for 5 weeks. This was of course long before any cell phones and facebook so guess who had to pay for the tow and the storage of the car? Yup... me. I sold the wreck, the engine and the stereo and it barely covered the bill.

Lesson learned - never sell a car to a drunk!
