Advice needed !

Well spotted !

 

The Lounge is the Cal Look Lounge

If you're willing to spend that much money, perhaps a bit more, and bide your time, you could get both show and go.

Look up Keith Seume's books for a history of Cal Look, tho there's plenty of free reading on The Lounge.

The basic idea is a good looking bug, dropped at the front, nose down, set up for drag racing, skinny front tyres, bigger at the back. Often dechromed but not always, ideally capable of a 15 second, or less, quarter mile, which would put most Yank V8's to shame.

Here's mine...

 

Cool , thanks for the info.
Is yours finished and good to go?.

 

Thanks for showing your bug, it's helped me to realise that if i go for a bug it will either be stock or something substantially 'beefed up' like yours.
What cc and bhp does that beast push out?.

 

Now, that would be showing off

Here it is at Superfest, about a month or so after the garage shot. I am still working on getting it all correct.

 

Have a look at the end of this thread for a couple more.

Cool, nice photo's on that link too, where in the world are you if you don't mind me asking?

 

The back of beyond, Ochils and South Perthshire.

 

Your only 332 miles 'oop tut north' from me then.

 

Yep, way fartherer north than t'up north.

 

I've never been North of Lancashire, Scotland is on my 'to do' list in the van.

 

The first things I remember of the cal look monochromatic colors and wing window delete with a solid piece door glass. Mostly drag race inspired.

 

Yes, that one was a very 80/90's phase.
