vwtyp2 - September 29th, 2003 at 09:53 PM

she'll be stock.
apart from the engine, wheels, and ride height at the front.
it's too original to modify too full on.
I'm not going to do anything that can't be put back to standard.
just wanna teach those rice cooker guys a bit of ol' skool respect!

That looks way to nice to play around with. You can show ricers a thing or two in a different car can't ya? But its your car....

It's your car but people strive to have a stock oval that looks like that. I hope you change your mind. Maybe find another not so good oval to do it too. Don't get me wrong I love what you want to do. Again your car, just my opinion. Good luck with it anyway you go. And hope you do teach some rice cookers a lesson.

hey vwtyp2 nice oval oldskool it all the way and why did the orange on your kombi change to maroon???


Black_math - September 30th, 2003 at 09:47 PM

:(how come yours comes with no rust and mines coverd in it :cry oh well :P nice bug man u gotta post the pics when you do with it what you want to:D


vwtyp2 - September 30th, 2003 at 10:58 PM

thanks mattie. I changed it to maroon to sell it. thought it would make it more appeasling to Joe Public.
when it was orange, it had big EMPI logo's on each side, and some ol' skool race stickers, like some old Scat and Weber ones. it was meant to look like full '70's reace service vehicle. I had EMPI 5's on it too.


vwtyp2 - September 30th, 2003 at 11:02 PM

thanks Black_math
she's got a few spots here and there.
the bonnett is so-so.
I've got a fibreglass one to go on and I'll get the original one welded.
I'm looking for a fibreglass W decklid if anyone has one. am willing to swap or trade for an original.


vwtyp2 - September 30th, 2003 at 11:06 PM

thanks type_one.
I got onto a '60's ragtop today :)
maybe I'll keep that as standard?
or perhaps cal-look the rag, and keep the oval standard.


Black_math - September 30th, 2003 at 11:45 PM

Keep it as standard man, please making it into a ragtop would well kinda kil it :( plz dont, i spose i cant tell you what to do.


Rustbucket68 - October 1st, 2003 at 07:09 AM

A lot of us are aiming to have our rides look just like that. Keep it original and resist the temptation to Mod. Once again its your car.:)


Boozer - October 1st, 2003 at 09:28 AM

Black_math - October 1st, 2003 at 10:25 AM

Boozer - October 1st, 2003 at 03:46 PM

Black_math - October 1st, 2003 at 04:30 PM

Boozer - October 1st, 2003 at 04:32 PM

vwtyp2 - October 1st, 2003 at 06:55 PM

black_math

the oval and the rag are two separate cars.
I'm not turning the oval into a sunroof. I'm turning them both into Cal-lookers


mattie - October 1st, 2003 at 08:09 PM

wicked where did you pick the rag up from and what condition is it in??


Boozer - October 2nd, 2003 at 08:14 PM

meh, cal-look is still cool!


byronbus - October 2nd, 2003 at 10:11 PM

Black_math - October 2nd, 2003 at 10:12 PM
