My 71 vert in progress.

I need to put smaller tires on the front, they rub pretty bad, and I want to pick the rear up about 1/2" to get rid of the neg camber. All the suspension is new and those are original 40 year old Formula Vee Mags that have been polished, I have a set of 5. Right now I have 185/65's all the around but will try 165/80'so the front since I have them to see if they don't rub. If not I will go smaller till I don't rub. Was going to go "German", but I live in Socal and in the 70's all our bugs looked like that. I had 4 Ghia's and 2 bugs.

Here's my 58 I recently bought, looks like it was probably pretty nice in the 80s Laughing

Yeah got to love Bug's, but there were a few Ghia's in the mix too! I just am putting "Magilla" into proper cruz tuning. Magilla is a 67 Coupe & I'm second owner & 41k miles. I have all the tax stamps from Sacto with same name to prove it! I say Magilla because it's the real Magilla. That starts with Berg/Jet rods...if you know what that means. To match the rods badass, plop a wedged 86 Swedish Berg crank. Ok this with the LN Jugs running JE Slugs so we have a 2438CC Gorilla size motor. Your Basic all berg engine with 48DRLA's with CSP 42mm exhaust, a bit loud but get's the job done & has the look IE: no rust & that Python look thing...
Now the departing the Cal-Look, I went for 3;44 R&P on a Quiafe diff for that Magilla bite of asphalt. So with a dropped 3rd Magilla runs out @90MPH @6k.
Calling all old & stock era Porsche's to eat for lunch. I must say going with CSP Brembo's 4 pistons from a Boxster & GTI'sMK3 rear Calipers with a 20.6mm Mercedes Benz Master cylinder make for 100mph stops using just two toes on the pedal...well close to it! No fade & hand brake works better than it did in1967 fresh from the dealer! I ponied up the loot for set of the ATS wheels & got fresh Michelin's from Serbia. Let the fun begin...

Very nice. Shouldn't the plate colors be flip flopped? And there's too many characters. Are these french vanity plates? Confused

Thanks, yes it's a "california style" license plate with french numbers, here for oldtimers cars we could use some black background & white letters only so I choose the plates with black background and yellow letters to avoid being too far from the french plates and having any problems with the police ^^
