Nice thread.  I've a 68 1300 bug. Sure not the best model to built a cal look.  But I think that, back in the middle of the 70's, the VW enthusiast that buy a VW , takes the best used car He can find in his area. An Oval, an early 1200 or the newer 1300 model, wich one take ? Just a question of feeling. What's the best choice? buy the older or the newer one? And after all, there is as more as cool items to modify a later model than a earlier model.  That's just a point of view. |

We're going to fit the 145r15 and 205/70r15 tires to my Fat Lip Formula Vee wheels tomorrow, and fit the wheels to my bug the day after... So saturday my bug will finally be a true looker. Too bad it'll still look like $h!# because it needs a full paintjob...  So soon another early (sept '67) late looker to be seen on the streets... |

Sory to hurt your feelings friend In fact all those cool cars made me want to do a late looker badly. I guess I've been a closet late looker fan for a while now...  |

No idea, I just found those pics on my hard drive... they're actually all different cars, just look alike.
It's almost like those "spot 5 dfferences" cartoons in magazines...

Hi everyone, I must admit that I'm a kind of fan of the Late Lookers (but I do have a weak spot for true style Cal Lookers as well). As a matter of fact, I'm building a Late Looker which will serve as a daily driver. The base for my Late Looker is a '86 Hecho en Mexico bug which allready served as a daily for several years but was in need of a full-on resto. Some alternations will be made to make it look a little older, so the big elephantfoot style rearlights will be swapped for some '68 1300 style rearlights. The body will be painted Paprika Red so the chosen detailed Pedrini's will suit the ride very fine I guess. The powerplant to get the Mexican moving will be a 1914 breathing through a pair of 44 IDF (but these will be swapped by a home-built EFI). To get the ride-height dailled in correctly the front will get a pair of Spax coilovers and pair of CB-dropped spindles. The stopping power will be improved by disk up front and type 3 drums in the back. I hope to get the ride finishes soon so I can put my daily driven '65 1500S notch in rest and keep it from the daily abuse... I'll post some pictures when the ride is finished but here's a pictures of how things look as this very moment... Greetz Wimme http://dievolksfreunde.blogspot.com/ |

I've notice that most of them keep the original's bigs bumpers. I've very often hesitated to changes it for black T-Bars. It looks good on the back, put front, is not very beautiful  On the other hand, I like buggy bars |
