Forum: Classic and Vintage Euros

Well sort of, but it is a Euro. It's a 1980 Vespa P200E here is the mods so far. Pinasco 210cc cylinder head kit Lightened flywheel 226 Vintage exhaust Bi-Tubo race shocks FA Italia aluminum wheels Continental Zippy 1 tires

on the I-5 in Santa Ana no less. The paper says "1968 Jaguar" but its clearly a late 50's D type it would seem. Thats a lot of bent up money. People appear to be mostly fine, except the guy who owns the Jag, since he is probably crying his eyes out. Looks like it lost a wheel from a loose knock...

I hope this is a good place to post this. I have a 65 bug and I need the engine line bored. Its a scat built engine. I was hoping for a shop in southern san diego. Anyone know any shops around town?

I've been seeing a vintage Ferrari recently in my neighborhood, its always parked outside this one restaurant. I think it might be a 308 GTS, but I need to get a picture of it so I can identify it. It looks like its in perfect shape too. The best part is the vanity license place, Magnum PI. Makes...

Done. Well 95% done, now on to the final motor/suspension/safety tweaking for the track!! Finished last friday at approx. 12:30am with a few hours to spare before the Coronado Speed Festival. Entered the car show both days. I didnt win my class (European) both days, I was honestly bummed...

My brother got a '68 bug a few months ago. It has a 1500cc motor, 96k original miles, and original paint. We were looking at a Karmann Ghia, but we're too tall to fit in it. Thought I'd share a few pics. :tup:

71 VW BUG COMPLETE BODY

So I finally got out to VW Classics Recycling this afternoon to pick up the last couple bits I needed to get my bug back on the road. I have to say, I LOVE this place. A guy named Chris recently bought the biz from someone else and is still getting organized. Super nice, and the old saying...

I was looking at some of the VW buses for sale online and stumbled on this cute little project one of you guys might like - 1961 Morris Minor Project

I've had this Bug in my driveway for about a year or so and I finally got the time to do something. Money is a little scarce so I figured I'd at least try to get it broken down to something workable. Today was just cleaning it out and seeing what all really came with it. It looks like I did okay. I...

I am picking up a fiat Bertone X1/9 from norcal. Anyone know of any Orange county shops that work on old fiats?

Anybody thinking about doing a Baja? Spotted this poor old bug being given away on CL - VW Baja Bug

I have been going back and forth for a while about selling the bug and picking up an old Bus or Land Rover. I threw it up on craigslist to see what offers come in locally before I get serious, set a price and put it on the Samba. Cool Old School Cal-look 1970 Bug :) If anything Craigslist is...

I was looking through the parts on section on Craigslist when I saw this - VW Bug Body I don't know what sort of shape it is in, but that is a pretty good deal if any of you guys want to start an air-cooled project and be like the cool kids. Probably even lowball him on that :)

Okay, so as many of you know, my daily driver is a '71 standard Beetle. I nick-named it "my bucket" just over a year ago when I bought it, because it was just a bucket of parts. Picked it up in easily 7 colors of primer, overspray everywhere, shoddy bodywork, no door panels or passenger seat, no...

I know some you guys are into sport bikes, so I thought you might appreciate a classic. We went up to LA and shot this bike and interviewed the builder. Extremely cool guy, not the typical chopper building A-hole we have all grown to love on reality TV. A lot more pics on the site. ...

Hello im looking for a shop or maybe a place to do work on either of my cars I can do the work usually just need a lift any one got one. Or knows a shop I prefer a drive on lift for the BMW because they known strain on the jack points usually causes problems with the body and windows and I need to...

Any one know where I can get a Meyer Manx clone for under $500? I been looking for one but no luck.

Who all here has flipped the the tie-rod ends in their classic? I'm finally down to a point where i need to do it, as I need to get some more clearance, and lose some bump steer, and I'm looking to see if anyone around's done it, and looking to see if there's anything I should know beforehand.

Probably should just PM mike, but figure I will throw it out here. I picked up a supposedly functional freeway flyer I want to have rebuilt for my bug. Figure I can toss it in when I put the new "highway" engine project in this fall/winter. Any of my air-cooled brothers know of a loacl shop with a...

Saw this on Rosecrans a month or 2 ago, completely forgot to upload these. I figured I would post it here in classic because you guys would all appreciate it most :) the metal plaques on the back said westfalia.

Any salvage yards around SD for old air-cooled beetles? I need to find the metal bar that bolts from side to side and supports the front lip of the rear seat.

Here is my lowered 58 Single Cab. I have had this for about 9 years or so now. The only thing I have done to it is paint it, lower, and swapped out the trans to a straight axle. I plan on repainting it to Dove Blue and putting some bus 15" stock wheels on it. I want to restore it to the...

You fellow "air-heads" may have seen this already, but I stumbled on to a U.K. TV show called Beetle Crisis by accident on one of the Discovery Channels. They started on a 71 beetle on last nights episode, tore it down to the pan and sent the pan out for media blasting, started patching panels...

i am from pennsylvania where a vehicle that is 25 years or older qualifies as a classic and is not required emissions testing. figuring its not that gravy in california but what are the advantages of having a car registered classic with the DMV? i drive a 1984, do i qualify?
