New Ride in town

Today I laid my hands on a new ride for a ridicule low price and managed to salvage it from the scrapyard.



This 64-early 65 has been standing outside under a tree for the last 10 years. It was last used by some Dutch youngsters who used this bug to roll around in Portugal and then came home to Belgium in it. Once in Ghent, they left to bug ata local workshop and that's were I found it after 10 years outside.

Some might consider it a perfect Rat but as I'm not into these new trendy rides, one day it will be rebuild as a perfect Looker in true Cal Look style.


The exterior suffered from the time outside but it still is a great base. It needs some TLC in the most common places such as the heather-channels and rear corners. Other parts needed seem to be the fronthood and two doors as these are beyond repair. But the plus side is that the OG wings are still in good shape and will be reused.


Another nice plus is the fact that this bug features a brick-red interior and the seats are in very good condition which can't be said about the doorpannels.


This badge is evidence of the 30 years this bug has spend in hot and sunny Lisboa in Portugal.
Too bad I didn't find any 30 year old Porto in this ride...
