Bug Run
Mantorp Park, Sweden, 10.-12.6.2006


Sebastian's '50 Split and his old '52, now owned by Jussi of Kuplapaja.


Kotten's '67. Having seen all the work he has done I was very sorry to see his efforts blown away in dragstrip.


Extremely nice Speedster replica. I am not into kit-cars and Speedster replicas at all, but I do like cars like this which are not made to look like original Porsche. Big engine and brakes / wheels to match the performance.


One of my favourite cars. It made me want to lower the Oval more and built true Resto Cal out of it, then I would need to get another Volkswagen to be built as Cal Looker.


Long-time Volkswagen&Porsche enthusiast Wolfgang Pouzar operates his own panel manufacturing business called Wolfparts. The quality of parts is probably even better than originals, if you have a serious restoration project you should see www.wolfparts.com.

The reproduction Cabriolet engine lids were my favourite part and luckily I found a matching black lid with good patina to our Oval. Too bad that Wolfparts wasn't around with this sortiment of parts when my Cabriolet restoration project started, for example I had to get a rusty H-donor and some IGP/Veng-junk to have a correct H-pattern rear apron done.





Maaza drove over from Vaasa with his '54 Pre-A 356. I still remember how the car was for sale in Volkswagen dealership dirt cheap 10 years ago. It certainly didn't look like this back then, it took some hard work for Sebastian Vuorisalo and Jyrki Halonen to make it look this good.


Kobus Cantraine delivered this '57 Karmann Ghia to be added into Maaza's collection. Maaza already had a Low Light KG but it had later model headlights now he has a template/benchmark for some panel beating.


It does not get much better than this. Even the Fuchs are anodized back to original spec.


One of the quality rides from Vaasa.
