Our aircooled scene is growing for sure, so I decided to show you two cars that I think are really cool.
First car is '67 cream white, and unfortunately - I didn't have chance to see it so there is just one picture.
Rumors are that owner invested about 15k € in that car...



Second car is from my good friend Marco.
First owner was elderly lady who sold the car to a guy from city of Rijeka, and later, car surfaced in a classifields and was for sale for about 4500€.
Marco wanted to buy the car from the first time he saw it in the classifieds and after some time, we managed to visit the owner and take a look at the car...
It was in perfect condition, almost no rot - I say almost, as I found a small hole of rot in the front bulkhead - nothing too serious and this will be fixed very soon !
Owner was wery surprised when I shown him that "inperfection" and Marco and I managed to lower the price to acceptable 3000€...(owner commented that now he knows "Why they call me the Doktor")... Grin

some pictures:




Car features some things as: 1600 dual port engine with j-tubes and Kadron K300 sport exhaust, short gearbox, puma adjustable front beam, four lug drums, painted Empi 8 spoke alloys, original pop-outs, sport steering wheel, VDO tacho in a chrome housing, chopper custom mirrors... and modified rear hood with tunneled space for license plate.
Front end is lowered, tyres are 195-50 front and 205-60 rears. Interior features original door panels, seats and sunvisors and whole interior is unpainted from new !

Future plans include fitting T-bars all round, and since these pictures were taken, Marco changed rear taillights for some US spec red ones !
Will post new pictures later...

regards,
Doktor

cal-look sign doesen't make a cal looker  Wink

First of all,If  i were in your place,I would ditch this Kadron exaust,and put a nice 4in1 bugpack ceramic coated header,with dual quietpacks :)That would look nice on your car,even if they were black

Stance isn't bad for the beginning,mirrors wouldn't fit the rules,but other things would.

Also some t-bars insted of no bars Smiley

Then it would start looking more serious.

You're right and I accept your cooments.

You have to know that i have in plan to change the exhaust with a dual quietpack and to put on T-bars or blade bumpers in the same color of the car, but now i have no time to realise these plans because i'm preparing my other bug (my first bug) from '74.

I have to finish the '74 bug so my girl can have a car.

Bye
