I would like to have a go with it put some fuchs under it and drop the nose just a bit but I don't think it is the right thing to do right now with the credit crunch and my last savings.

I don't know about cal-looking it, but it would certainly look hot with a nice set of detailed fuchs, a hot IDA engine and a 5 speed gearbox...

Thought my reply would promt a reaction.  Roland !!!!! You gave me a hard time over turning a run of the mill 64 bug into a race car.... This is worse ! this car should only be restored to its former glory No cal look no race car and no rat look... original all the way. |

Ah come on, I gave you a hard time? Dude you've got nothing close to a hard time from me Just a tiny comment, wasn't meant to offence you or anything.. As for this car, 1st it's RHD so it's useless. You'd have to transform it to LHD. Then a hot engine and wheels is nothing you can't bolt off a car. But sometimes my logic is twisted, true... |

Q: who's got the balls to cal look this?
That was done years ago... remember seeing pics in Volksworld of a R-looker owned by a Porn star out of Austria.

This is worse ! this car should only be restored to its former glory No cal look no race car and no rat look... original all the way. This poor Beetle cannot be restored to its former glory. It's beyond repair, because some old tuning company called Rometsch butchered it back in the fifties   Seriously - I know that Rometschs are rare, but personally I would not trade a nice 64 Bug for this ugly thing. |

Nice one! Fooled me.
You'll have to forgive my friend, he's a little slow!!!  I'd cal look an early one. The late ones look a bit too "fat". Although that black one with the Kustom theme works quite nicely, I believe  |

Not me... I'm still pissed about the now-diarrhea green Papler in Florida (used to be a '50s era German fire car, though it was a police car originally, or so I'm told) slammed in the weeds resto-custom style... I'm not too fond of the Hebmuller that was turned into a race car, either.
But hey, to each their own, I reckon.

Do they ALL have to be 100% restored to their former glory? I mean, once you've seen one restored Heb, you've pretty much seen them all... |

If you are talking about BBT´s Heb, there was really very very very little original metal left of it, and would have been a close to impossible restoration.

The RHD Rometsch sat in my workshop for nearly a year. The plan was going to be to do all of the aluminium bodywork and then polish it. It was then going to be slammed and driven to Bad Camberg... The credit crunch has put paid to this idea... I wonder if it will be bought and fully restored? Matt Keene
