Couple of weeks ago I modified the NOS (New Old Stock) VW bus muffler with some extra drilled holes inside and welded a extra exhaust port to run dual stock exhaust pipes. I bought a new extra exhaust pipe and cut it in pieces and welded it “flipped” and “mirrored” to fit on right/passangerside of the bus. All this to get a little less back pressure and gain better exhaust flow and still keep the “stock” look, instead of bolting on a extractor pipe. Looks and sounds cool!
Photo taken in 2008
Found an old picture on the patina bug from last year. Built in 2013. Now sold…was a cool ride for sure. Click on “Rides & Projects” in the menu for restoration pics….
Well….almost. The last new exterior parts have arrived atleast. Left to do is to make custom trunkpanels, otherwise its ready now. Just need to wait on the sunshine here in Sweden of course…
New headlight trim/bezels 4pcs, gaspedal, Impala quarterpanel emblems etc.
Some updates on the 63′ Impala build. Interior mostly done, just door panels left to install and need to make custom trunk panels and add a new stereosystem. And waiting on the few last bits from the US. Here are some fresh pics!
Easystreet Autopilot. Works great and lots of cool features. Like “Ride mode”, when turning on the ignition the car rasing up automatic in driving position/height. “Automatic leak detection” and adds more air to the place the leak is, keeping the car in correct height all the time. Full control, every wheel adjustable and Front, Back and Side to side also.
Lot’s of lift. Locked up
Tonight the airride system (Easystreet Autopilot) was tested in action. Works great, lots of lift and lay frame. Hit tha play button…
Airbags in place and relocated upper shockmounts with new shocks. Will make a air ride install guide when finished for Chevrolet Impala 1961-64 and put it up here on the website.
Check the 4sale section in the menu for more cool items…
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…
