I definitely have inherited the love of early 70’s Camaro’s from the brothers, who would talk tons about them when I was younger. I was really excited when I found these pictures, as these are getting more popular, it was only a matter of time before a simple resto-mod came around. From the full cage, slicks, racing seats, and the driver with a helmet this one looks like serious business. I really love the flat black accents that help toning down the very loud orange paint. And of course the flat black CCW’s look absolutely incredible on this car!

Ok, I’ll be the first to say that Waterfest isn’t what it used to be. But with events like Southern Wothersee and H2O it’s becoming hard to compete, which does suck since Waterfest was one of the “original” european car shows. Having said that Waterfest did deliver a great amount of quality cars. We got there a tad late so I might have missed a couple cars, but I tried snapping pics of the nicest I saw.
Walking up to the show area, an unexpected, very nicely modded Honda Fit caught my attention dropped on a set of Rota Grid’s. These 2nd gen. Fit’s are really growing on me.
First was the APR booth with the RS4 Avant(I didn’t think people realized it was an RS4, nobody was looking at it) and a R8 V10 with around 580hp. So sexy!
Flat black Merc was right up Ty’s lane, even though the wrap was pealing in some places.
I thought this motor was very unique in a mark 4 chassis.
A beautiful S5 sitting properly on a set of BBS’
White on white on white on white…
Very nice mk3 Cabrio on air sitting on a classic set of Schmidt wheels. Oh, the R32 powerplant was also a wise addition.
Something completely unexpected, a Ford GT. Something I wanted to point out in this picture. The sticker booth this car was with, was selling fake Illest stickers. Cmon now, stop faking the funk!
Always had a soft spot for these. It’s nice seeing them modded every now and then.
This Audi A8 looked boss sitting on 22’s!
Beautiful Porsche Panamera sitting on a set of ADV.1 wheels.
Thought the black on black was on point with this car. I think the Porsche 3-piece twists are close to the top of my list of favorite wheels.
The europe only S3 was a treat. FINALLY a real set of Volk TE’s.
Depending on how things go, a white MK6 is probably going to be my next car. So beautiful when its slammed on a proper set of wheels.
A couple of nice Audi’s. I was really surprised to see all the B5 RS4 conversions.
I can not explain how perfect this R is! Simple yet SO effective.
Surprisingly one of the few nice MK2’s in attendance.
Two non-dubs that stood out in the show.
Here is one of the other nice MK2’s that came out. Air ride ftw.
I would love to know what this MK5 is running out back. The fitment and camber was perfect. Tons of lip and still tucking.
The infamous flat green S4 wagon now of baller Rotiforms and air ride. Gotta love the color match.
For some reason, this was the car of the show for me. Not many people were checking it out. But this is one of those cars that if you saw it rolling down the street or hardparked, your jaw would drop. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I want a Z4. The rear fitment of those Schmidt’s is lovely.
I’m pretty sure this was the ONLY decent Caddy out. Mucho props.
Ugh, I was trying to catch a picture of this early S4. It was MINT and looked so great on the LM’s. As you can see I wasn’t very successful.
There were a couple other really nice cars out, just couldn’t get my camera out in time to get a decent shot.
That pretty much concludes my coverage. I really hope this show gets to what it used to be in the next couple years.
With the very exciting news of my brother’s progression on his ’67 Comaro project, we looked on the interweb for some inspiration and came across the 67 pictured below. It’s very close to how he wants to do it, but the opposite haha. The flat black looks great with the gloss black and carbon fiber accents. We were thinking of doing gloss black with flat black strips and a couple carbon fiber bits here and there. This car looks downright sinister and with the LS7 under the hood I’m sure it goes as good as it looks.
