Talk about the feeling of playing with old cars

It is never easy to play with old cars in China. With the increasingly strict laws and regulations, the future of these old guys is becoming more and more elusive before our eyes. Even so, some respectable owners of classic cars still insist on taking pains to make those cars with precious memories shine. After all, that car is no longer a simple means of transportation, but a bosom friend who accompanies each other.

As a well-known car in China, Santana Travel Edition has gradually become a popular classic car because it carries the childhood memories of most car owners. Another reason for her popularity is her "long" production cycle in China. It was not until 20 13 that the last batch of Santana rolled off the assembly line that Pu Sang was officially declared to enter the curtain of history. The updated factory year and national emission standards are her last stubborn capital.

Is this made by KGO? The mulberry brigade built in the air can be said to be one of the most famous Santana in the domestic modification group, and she has set an unprecedented feat. 20 19 after a long period of preparation, the owners Jeffrey and Calvin embarked on a magnificent pilgrimage that spanned nine countries, lasted for more than 30 days and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers, bringing the car to the highest stage in the hearts of the public players-the Voser race in Austria.

When the audience applauded this friend who came all the way from China, I believe it was definitely one of the most fulfilling moments in Jeffrey and Calvin's life. Not only did you personally feel the atmosphere of the largest folk competition in Europe, but also let foreign friends see the level of domestic Volkswagen modified players; This mulberry brigade with a blue license plate appeared, let Worthersee? 2K 19 is more meaningful. This is not only a journey of courage, but also a trust in this old buddy, a yearning and love for this grand event and this atmosphere.

In fact, I don't want to use any words related to "feelings" in this content. How many people are carrying out moral kidnapping and fraud under the banner of "feelings" now? I just run when I can. It's not pretty inside or outside. I don't think this is a feeling; The center console is wrapped in "bright" and cheap leather, replaced with blue angel eye headlights, and equipped with loud sound. Is it what an old car should look like? This kind of consumer sentiment and blindly following the trend are ridiculous. Just like the upper body suit and the lower body shorts and slippers; This matter was crooked from the beginning. Those worthless so-called feelings are meaningless.

Before Sanglv, Jeffrey also owned a square-headed Jetta A2, but unfortunately it was scrapped because of policies and other reasons. In order to renew the frontier and continue to look for the imprint of the times, he found this mulberry brigade with a strong flavor of the year. Compared with Jetta, some parts of Santana are easier to find and the color of the car is better. After the car arrived, it was not in a hurry to decorate her, but completely disassembled to the frame state and carried out a perfect and meticulous transformation work.

Frame painting, interior renovation, engine reorganization. A series of transformations lasted for nearly a year. At present, this kind of green and mulberry travel are quite good, full of temperament. Only you know best how much a car is worth.

Or colorful BBS? RS, after the trip to Austria, I put on this set of electroplated nuts, and the Porsche Center covers were specially used for the two rear wheels. After all, players of Volkswagen classic models have Porsche complex more or less. Are the chassis parts such as shock absorbers and claws KGO? AIR is customized by itself. After comparison, it is found that the structure of the claw is similar to that of Audi 100, so it is modified on the basis of Audi 100 claw and specially plated. These invisible places are also worthy of serious efforts.

The wheel eyebrows have been reshaped, corresponding to the rim data, and the integrity is considerable enough, but Jeffrey intends to redo this part. He pays great attention to every detail and is going to repaint it. In the eyes of most people, the present state is perfect enough, but he thinks there is still a certain gap compared with foreign works. KGO· Dege said that the biggest problem now is that it is difficult to find a painter who can meet his obsessive-compulsive standard …

Is the new manual exhaust exquisite enough?

The concept of transformation inside and outside the car is the same, try to find new parts. For example, the center console, door panels and so on are all brand-new components, so the interior can be full of the illusion of going back in time.

A classic product with perfect matching: BBS? Wood? Textured steering wheel, the appearance of solid wood elements is just right. This steering wheel is actually made by Nardi, and BBS and Nardi have a history of "mutual benefit", OEM steering wheel or rim for each other.

This club head has many advantages. The trip to Austria passes through Lithuania. A local cyclist gave Jeffrey a small gift, which was made by pressing the wooden surface of an old skateboard. You can often find some small things with stories in this kind of car.

Seating is another choice of taste. Is it RECARO, which is common on Porsche 930 and 964? A8, whose production cycle is 1989- 1998, is divided into two versions: leather and fabric. This pair of leather versions with special colors is hard to find, and the round logo on the back of the chair is really impressive.

Since you want to play the classic car brilliantly, you must handle all the details in an orderly way, which is the real radiance.

The air storage tank, air pump and air damping control system are carefully arranged in the spare tire pit. Both practical and handsome visual effects.

Four self-made cover plates cleverly avoid the pipeline layout, ensure the flatness in the trunk, and do not affect the advantages of "loading and pulling" of the station wagon.

The engine compartment also presents an extremely neat appearance. Without the imagined engine transplant, the original engine was broken up and reorganized to continue its service. This heart is still strong and reliable, and it is easy to repair even if it fails, and the cost is relatively low.

Water tanks and water pipes are homemade parts. Under the scorching sun in Guangzhou, it is natural to pay more attention to the heat dissipation of old cars.

Whether it is modified or original, we should take it seriously. The most interesting thing about an exquisite classic car is the striking details, in which you can find the owner's dedication and attitude; This way of playing slowly and changing slowly is in sharp contrast with the fast pace of today's times. You may be curious about how much the host has invested in her, but I don't think it matters anymore; After many hardships, the final result can satisfy the owner and satisfy his recollection of the times. Simple love is real. I hope those harsh laws and regulations can come later, give these healthy and vigorous babies a free space, and give us a chance to pay tribute to the times.
