Here are a few shots of my recent project. A '69 sunroof. Original paint, 20,000 original miles. It had been parked, under a carport in California for 25 years exposed to the elements. A little elbow grease and it's starting a new life.    Not a traditional Cal-Look, but that's how I roll. -jeffrey Jeff, Nice car, how many notches did you go in the back? One or two? I like it! |

Right on, Jeffrey!!! Your car looks great. Only thing missing are the D.K.K. stickers on the ¼ windows. Contact Randy (you know where) for those. Or4 I can mail you a couple.
I dig the fact that the car still retains the factory fender beading and running board covers. Good stuff.

It's pretty solid, specially for these parts. I like the look of the beading/running boards as well. When I was cleaning the car up, I loosened the fenders and pulled it out and cleaned it up. It was pretty stiff, but usable. Not sure what I'll do when it comes time for paint [not anytime soon], I'll just keep an eye out for another original set or hopefully WW will start making theirs again. When I got the car there was absolutely no shine on it and a fair amount of surface rust. A little color sanding and about 40 hours with a DA, and it shines pretty well. Not show-worthy, there are a lot of dents and blemishes, but it'll do. My focus now is on a motor. Nothing huge, just something streetable. Don't know if you noticed, it was an original VW West car, still had the plate frame on it as well as an original Black and yellow CA plate. As a bonus, attached to the key was one of those matching mini license plate key fobs. Pretty cool. Also in the rear window is a Anaheim Jacks Surf Shop. It's kinda ratty but I'm gonna keep it. There are some scratches on the drip rails so I assume that it at one time had surf racks on it. The Rivi's were something that came up on the cheap. I had them polished just like I had on my '67 back in the day [one of many sets of wheels]. My plan is to put alloys on it. I've already picked up a set of five and I'll soon be sending them out to be refinished. I'm so on the fence about having them anodized and detailed or polished and detailed. I like the bidness look of the anodizing, but I do like a little bling. Decisions, decisions. It's been fun, however I recently refinished the interior, covers padding and German carpet from WW. Came out great, but with the new padding the steering wheel is a little to close now  I'm in the process of cleaning up an old 14" Nardi wheel I had on and earlier car, hopefully that will help in my delima.  -jeffrey |
