VW MkII Ol' School

I've been working on this thing for a while.

Retro/Old School has been thé big hype at the Belgian VW-scene.
So I could not stay behind with my own 1/24 VW models :)

What has happened already?
One of the mostimportant things to create the retro/old school look: a retro color! :icon16:
The corner of the wheelarch has been BMFed.

Maybe not so retro/old school, but I love it anyway: a badgeless grille!
Also, the airintakes in the typical GTI under-lip has been filled up en after that the lip has been made 3mm smaller 'cause the Golf will be low as hell :naughty:

In the back nothing special.
Just removed the lock from the black strip:

What's on the to-do list?
Some subtile details to keep the retro/old school look alive:
- chrome outside mirror from an old Beetle on the driver side
- foglight under the frontbumper,also from the Beetle
- a "bikini"
- chrome tailpipe on the exhaust
- some stickers on the side window
- a roofrack offcourse!
- New Beetle frontseats without the headrests
- retro-brown colors inside

I like this style! keep it up!

Very nice,

Which wheels will you use?

I hope black ones.

Nice! This should be interesting! Keep the porgress coming

Oooh my god :eek2:

That's exactly one of the future projects I plan for 2007 but on a Mk1.
Can't wait to see yours finished, I'm sure I'll love it :naughty:

Have you already seen this one? VVV

@deedlit: ofcourse I know that car, who doesn't in the Belgian VW-scene? :icon16:
Isn't that the MkII from a member(or even the president) of the Wolfsburgstore?

@TimFMX: pic's from the roofrack will follow soon :wink:

That's right :)

Small update on the roofrack.
It came from an older Gunze Sangyo Beetle.
The rack looked proportional way too big so it needed some adjustments.

On the left a side part before the adjustment.
On the right offcourse after the adjustment.

The rack itself was standing a little too high.
So I've brought it a little closer to the roof.
IMO it looks more realistic now:

A pic of the completed roofrack will follow after the weekend.
I'm leaving for a weekend with the Pro-Rider crue to the Paris Tuning Show! :naughty:

This is cool as all-get-out!:sunglasse

Small update after a cool weekend :icon16:
The roofrack is finished and ready for some paint:

The progress is going verry slowly 'cause the interior takes me more time than I expected (as usual :lol: )
And I was trying tomake a Porsche911 Carrera2 OOB but it didn't work :icon16:

The roofrack is very nice :thumbsup:

nice!

reminds me of the MKII i had awhile back... but mine was a beater. went like hell though. i loved that car.

BBS wheels? how about corrado 16" steelies? those look sweet on the MKII.

The dash has some PE-pedals abd offcourse the typical chrome stripe:

front seats without headrests:
http://albums.modelbrouwers.nl/coppermine/albums/userpics/10236/Golf_II_031_copy.jpg

The seats are funky but are accurate with the style you want for that car.
I like the brown you chose, what paint is that, Tamiya spray?

that`s great! is it decal on seats? they looks really great

@deedlit: paint is Tamiya's TS-1 Red Brown.
But the pic doesn't show the real shade.

@Mr. Me: yep, it's a decal wich came as an extra decalsheet with different VIP-style rims from Aoshima.

love the interior, its classy, keep us posted.

Interior is finished.

Used colors:
- TS-1 Red Brown
- TS-68 Wooden Deck Tan

Small details:
- window crancks
- PE-pedals
- flocking
- Old school speakers in the back(decals from Porsche-kit)
- decals on the seats(came with a VIP-wheels set)

Hope you like it :wink:

Perfect :bigthumb:

wow. that`s great

Fantastic build! And very refreshing, I'd about had it with all the VWs with the stupid stretch-wall tires.

What is the significance of the chrome on the wheelwell?

Like I love this build its spotless!

Brilliant......!!!
I love your work.
Mike......:sunglasse

I love it!:sunglasse

Last update before the final pics.
Been bussy with some small details that create the Old School feeling to me :grinyes:

- left: Changed the exhaust from 2 to 1 endpipe, centralized it and BMF it.
- right: Porsja brake discs to put behind the BBS rims

So, final pics after the weekend :iceslolan

Great work so far! This is looking awesome. Awesome!

What kit are you using? I keep coming back to this thread. I love it. I love all your VWs, wheelin75r, they are stunning. All of your builds inspire me to do one too. Awesome work.

If you want it really retro you should defenitelly go with the Pirelli wheels!

I don't think they are avaluable, but I guess it wouldn't be hard to make them.

Can't wait to see the final result :)

Actually, I'm waiting to see a V-Dub build by you're hand.
With the skills you have it will be a stunner!! :naughty:

This is the Fujimi-kit I started with:

@deedlit: Cool updates about the buggy's on your blog :icon16:
At Jabbeke I bought Revells Gypsy Dune Bug. And also a resin buggy body but I'm not sure what kit to use for it.

this is just outstanding. I am so very inspired to build a V-Dub from the middle ages. the one I want to do is a 1980...
PICKUP!!!!

Thanks, I'm posting all the Revell aircooled kits, so there are lots of other updates coming.
It's certainly the Jimmy Flintstone kit you bought, I think you can use the Tamiya Vw bug chassis.

But it's 1/32 .

yeah, I thought about getting it, but that's just a bit to much for a 1/32 snap kit. I'll find one at a garage sale or flea market some day.

this interior is very nice!! graet work!!
