Verts as Cal-look

[63 ripper]

Always liked that one Max. What happened to it?

I sold it on but kept the wheels..the new owner fitted some shiny fuchs and "interfered" with the rear ride height 
It hung onto it's heart and soul though

There was a 'peechy' colored pre '67 vert from france with detailed fuchs, that I realy liked...
Saw that one a few times in magazine during begining of 90. (cap feret meetings as I recall)
maybe somebody got some info on that one.

Steve sold it a while ago, I have a funny feeling it's a stocker now 

[Diederick/DVK]

you're right, there was something about selling all the performance parts in the ad when steve mortimer sold it.

Don t no for sure, thought the color was much lighter.

[speedwell]

in france there's 2 orange convert one with fuchs and the other one with empi 5, all have polished wheels , but resto cal ,not cal look

Anyone have new photos of Cal look Verts? I'd love to see some inspiration for my L41 '67 Vert project that I'm hoping to start soon.

[Neil Davies]

No new photos from me, but if that black '67 was mine, I'd lose the gravel guards, polish up the paint, replace the top (might get away with doing just the top outer, like we did on my wife's Golf cab) with a black mohair one and change the bumpers for either polished t-bars or euro blades and over-riders. Leave the chrome too, it's just a nice bit of contrast against the black. Stance is obvious, wheel choice more personal. Fuchs are like bellybutton, but they look so good, Centerline and Ercos might be too race for the rest of the style. Your choice!

[Jos]

Neil, unfortunately the pain isn’t as nice as it looks and the rust is FAR worse than it looks. I’m going to be doing a full restoration on the car and I’m hoping it will be everything I’ve always dreamed of in a cal looker.

[Neil Davies]

In that case then, dechrome the sucker and add Lucas L488s!
My wife's cab project kind of stalled when I changed jobs several years ago and lost all my spare time. I bought a couple of donor cars - a '68 sedan for the floor pan and front end, the back of a '74 sedan and the cabrio only sections of a '68 vert, all to go with the rotten but cheap 1970 Karmann that we started with. It's been spread over a number of garages for too many years...

Edit: have a trawl through my gallery on the samba, I've not worked out how to link to pics on my new phone...
