Sold!

Sold - Because I was a teenager in the 80's this reminds me of the solo debut of  Boy George after his former band "Culture Club" was history in 1987 - check out the video I found on youtube: :

But it actually means that the Volksstreaker is sold and moves on to a new home! During the Maikäfertreffen I advertised the car. There were several guys I talked to about the car, but one guy in particular was very interested and we had a long conversation, followed by a test drive and of course a hint to check out a link to this blog - which is basically the diary of the car. One day later during a long phone call a deal was struck and today was the day! The Streaker has a new owner and a long and interesting journey comes to an end! A Hazard Streaker has been on my bucket list since I was about 15 years old and a neighbors daughter had a black Hazard Streaker.
As every cloud has a silver lining - first of all I am sure the new owner is exactly the right person - and there are some funds for a future project!
Oh, did I mention about the photo session with Volkswagen Magazine during the MKT? So, maybe there will be another entry to this blog with a link to a VW website - I am already a little excited!

Project update May 1st 2018

The new look was an eye catcher during todays Maikäfertreffen in Hannover - I was even asked by Volkswagen magazine to participate in a photo shooting - Which I -of course- did. It was a silly and funny experience. When some pics will be posted, I will let you know!
With some initial vinyl wrap experience, I bought some yellow transparent material and converted the fog lamps:

(Also note the new FEDIMA front tyres)

One of the things which always bugged me when I drove the Streaker was the lack of sound (not engine sound, but actual music), so I built a sound board with stealth speaker installation:

You can hardly see it on the black blanket :-)  It is installed and helped to enhance the journey to and from Hannover.
