My '62 PV, painted with some yellow wall paint and then been left in the woods for 10 years or so. Me and a friend just fixed it up and made it driveable. Then we removed the coil springs and swaped the old B18 (1.8 litre) engine for a newer B20 from a 240 (2.0 litre) with dual Weber 40 carbs, an aftermarket camshaft and a header. It has original wheels painted red with fake white walls and babymoon caps:

Another PV I had, a '64. The B18 was swapped for a B20 with an aftermarket camshaft and dual SU carbs:

An '84 244 that me and some friends made into a convertible, the doors where welded shut, it was like a boat:

A more serious build based on a '76 242, we welded in some girders for strength which made it possible to open the doors:

A '57 Rexoped moped that I had with apehanges and flakepaint:

From me you cannot expect anything about this topic. I'm notoriusly ill-reputed as a hyper-picky "Originalo-Fetischist" :smile:

The only un-original features, I accept at my K 70, is a clock with a seconds hands (used after April 1973. My car came on road at the 13th March 1973, so it's too old for that) and a Blaupunkt "Münster"-radio (but with VW-knobs and -bezel). The VW-radios had other names (see the sticker on the back) and not, as the "Münster", three FM-buttons.

Anyone thinking, that I'm a hyped-up eccentric, eeh?


Only one time I've pimped a car, a clunker, which I got for free. It was meant for scrapping, but then I've used it as daily driver, after I've crashed my "real" car. Unfortunately it ran only one summer (1994), until the engine died the overheat-death. But it was a big fun anyways, everyone was goggling to it - an every cop had the idea to control me... The best show I had on the International NSU-meeting in Holland. Noone had expected this as the ride of the chairman of the K 70-Club :grin:

Since yesterday my Vauxhall Vectra has an aftersales market trailer coupling, a German one, because British or other foreign makes aren't allowed. This was the only un-original, because not in military use, part, I've pimped my Bundeswehr-Omega with, too.

Oh, due my laziness, my Vectra has still annother original feature: the programming of the radio :grin:

The only non-factory thing on my car is the wheel covers which (I think - I got it that way) come from an earlier model of Peugeot 206 (not SW then, since mine was amongst the first ones). Or maybe they changed the covers shortly after the release of the SW, hence why I never see other 206SW with the same covers.

So I have a problem with driving anything that is stock, so I modify almost everything that I own. I also love working on cars and have had a lot of cars. unfortunately I also don't keep cars very long and sometimes sell a car before I get a chance to finish it.

Post up some of y'all's modified cars!

I will start with a few of mine in chronological order:

1993 Pontiac Sunbird LE I built this car back in 2007 but ended up selling before I got a chance to finish it read:paint.
