Auto movie from early sixties

Althought it's made for critisizing the modern way of life, for fan of '50s and 60s cars it's absolutely brilliant footage! Just try to count how many rag top beetles you can spot!

T34 Ghia

Today I went to see a T34 Karmann Ghia. I had seen this car in the spring of 1998, when it was next to my car at a car show here in Joensuu. It has been driven less than 500km since then, but it has been stored well and about 15 years old restoration looked good stil after all these years. Here are a couple of shots from today and another pair from almost twelwe years ago.

Notch Project

Progress on my Notchback project. Rotiserie ready:

And drums were turned, I think I'm going to acid dip them before painting.

Insurance add

This insurance add made me stop and take another look, can you spot the interesting thing?

Snow

We had some more snow this week. After a couple of dark and wet falls, this year it seems that the winter is coming on normal 'schedule'.

Deadbeat Diamand Grau

I went to see a '59 beetle today, too bad it was another 'rat look'-object. Here are more shots, not for faint hearted ;o)

Pictures for forum quizz

Some Stuff

Just bought REAL chromed Lemmerz (EMPI Sprint Star) 4-lug wheels. They need to be restored thought to be perfect. Pictured here with some of my other stuff. I just need a car for these. I think early autostick fuel injected type3 squareback with sunroof would be optimal, but fasty or cool late model bug might be nice too. Or '67 1500 Bug, or late cabrio, or...

Funny little car

Awesome Notch

Yesterday I visited Pekka on my way home from Oulu. He has this very early '62-'63 notchback, which is super cool! I love that original 'pre-S' model interior! He needs all fender beadings and rear reflector housing seals, let me know if you have some!

There were also a couple of nice beetles, but I missed to take pictures of them. Stupid me, oh well these cell phone pic's aren't the good anyway.

Topless - Ex-Pringles cabrio

A couple of years ago Pringles potato chips gave away 20 of these "hack saw cabrios". I spotted this one last weekend on my way to dinner, it has had recently fresh paint job from black to red and a funky looking rag top. Atleast that rear window is quite weird.

Trip to Salo and Helsinki

Last week I spotted a couple of nice Bay windows on my trip to south of Finland. And went to see Jari's '58 project too.

Notchback project starts!

I brought my Notchback to my garage yesterday. I't was drivable ;o) But only reverse gear was working. See video here. I'm planning on full restoration. Let's see how many years it will take...

DWL lineup

Our club meeting on last thursday.

Young Timer Project and spare parts car.

That will buff right out ;o)

Old Timer Run in St. Michel

We went to St. Michel last weekend, as there was a nice outdoor car show. http://www.oldtimerrun.info/ It was a 450km round trip and the bus worked well even there's was about 27°C temperature outside and the rpm's where 3100 at the speed of 80km/h. Some more pic's here.

Artsi put on the OEM Wheels

I like it! Thousand words:

Wedding Chariot

My old '63 back in the streets of Joensuu

Kari picked up my ex '63 just a couple of weeks ago, and now the pan is welded, seats upholstered with new TMI products and new MWS Mk2 5-Spokes are on it, nice! Now it just needs big hit with that slamming stick! Or just hard driving.

Kool RatLooker from Polvijärvi

Found pic's of Jari's superslammed/pinstriped/louwered '65 on my laptop. KoolKruiser IMHO.

Urhon Ajot 2009

Third time in a row we had mechanical problems at Ahvenisto and had to retire. This time our new rear brake disc got loose and lots it's treads completely. That meant car would not move as we do not have locking differential ;o/

Rolling on 1st of May

I forgot to post pic's of my 912 after 1st of may cruise.

911 2,2l engine

Some spy pic's on my friends 911 engine rebuild. Looks sweet! Great work Harza!

Manga HebMüller

I spotted this manga comic book at local super market. There's Hebmüller on the cover!

912 Gear box painted.

Gear box also now in paint and ready to be mounted to the car, if I just had the motor ;o(

912 tyres mounted!

Got the Box

Picked up my gearbox yesterday, there was another 901 in the works so I took a couple of shots what's lurking inside.






There was also this cool chopper at the shop.

'73 1300 Bug forsale

My friend has this driveable project for sale.
