Your first car is always something special. No matter how good or bad is it holds a place in your heart. Well this podcast is about what the experience would be like to drive your same first car or a recreation to it 50 years later. Dean Kirsten's been on the podcast several times before, he's the first guest to be on for a third time. And it's only fitting after driving across Europe with him in the 2024 Cal look caravan and watching him drive the recreation of his first car the Vw blue 1967 Cal look. This car spotted some Dino alloys, Brad's interior, 1700 CC engine with 48 IDs and all the traditional Cal look fixings. There was a lot of painstaking detail taken through photographs down to stitch measurements to re-create the Brad's upholstery. Actually finding a both of the possible same fabric from the 70s that was used in this car. So many cool things came together on this project that Russel Richie decided to put together as a recreation for Dean's first car. It's a great story about how your first car holds such a special place in your heart. Not only is it fitting that this is podcast 275 because the car was featured in the February 1975, Cal looks spec.      www.letstalkdubs.com www.vwtrendsmagazine.com www.rosswulf.com www.spikesvintagerestoration.com
