Nice Impala from GOODTIMES carclub…
In 2004 this 1965 VW Beetle was restored from a rustbucket. It was traded for a Karmann Ghia project and this cool bug ended up in Denmark at the new owners. The Ghia is still sitting in the backyard and waiting for resto, it will be low, fast, nice and shiney and lots of Porsche parts. You can read more about that project (when it starts) here at the website in the future of course…

A clip from the headquarters…
To get the new imported Chevy pickup ready for the Swedish roads it needed some work. First it needed Swedish papers and plates and at the same time it must pass a safety inspection by law. This car didnt have turnsignals or working lights so this got fixed. Fueltank was cleaned on the inside and got fresh fuel and hoses & filters. Engine got new sparkplugs and coil installed. Exhaust was installed also. Restored carburetor. New tires and, steering rods. The speedometer was rusted out so a new was mounted. It passed the safety inspection without any problems at all!
… and gearshifter this afternoon. Looks much better!
I been working at the new skatepark recently. Looks awsome, all concrete. Release party soon! Welcome sk8ers…
This is the story of my old 1950 splitwindow Beetle. When found it was basicly just a rolling shell with all the parts stuffed inside of it. So it needed alot of work to get rolling again. The first thing to do was cleaning it out and wash the chassi and put a new fresh coat of undersealing on it. The old front beam was takeon out (saved) same thing with the transmission. It was some early 1940’s KDF parts on it, like steeringbox and door handles, very cool and rare! The old transmission was swaped out for a more modern with syncrozied gears, so a custom made bracket for fiting the new trans was needed. New bushings, new adjustable torsionarms and lowered shocks, 2 splines lowered on the torsion. The frontend got a brandnew fronbeam with dual adjusters and narrowed 6 inches. New CB performance dropped spindles, new flipped tie-rods, all new brakes all around. All windows got new rubber seals. Engine was an almost brand new industrial engine, 30hp! This car runned great on the road and never a problem with it. I had to sell it in 2009 when I got the chance to buy a Samba bus project instead. The split is now in Italy at a VW collector. Apparently it’s a super rare car in Italy, only 2 know to exist in their country, cool! Guess they just have Fiats and Ferraris there, I feel sorry for them.
