Well it seems that even naughty girls get Christmas presents, I just took it on it's maiden voyage
Been following along Jo. That's gotta feel pretty good. Doin' it your own self, then drivin' it around! Nicely done!
Thanks Mike, it feels amazing
I still can't believe it works, and it's so much fun to drive

Another job done, thought it was time to upgrade the rear lights, so these are now installed and what an improvement
Hello Jo;
What a kind of nice work you have doing to your ride

I have also a 59 and i was wondering where did you found the led taillights?

Seems they'll let just about ANYONE get a license in California these days!
Looks good Jo!

A bit of an update as it's been a while, with 700 miles since I fitted the engine I decided to give it a treat.
The engine got an oil and filter change, valves adjusted and a general check over to make sure everything was OK.
The oil that came out was still really nice and clean, no signs of anything unpleasant
I had a nice old looking wood rim steering wheel that came from my Red car which I decided would look nice in the '59, so I took a drive up to Moon to get the correct boss to fit it.
The steering wheel is now in the car and I think it looks perfect for the era the car is being kept to.

I've never been totally happy with the carpet set in the '59, it's too modern looking to compliment the rest of the car so when we found some NOS year correct Genuine VW floor mats in green, I had to have them
I think they will suit the late 60's/early '70's era I am trying to keep the car in, so much better

Had a very short visit to the US earlier this month
Back in the UK now, but did get a chance to fit the green mats and drive the '59
Has certainly tidied up the interior.
Here's the before, during and after shots

It's certainly been a while since I've posted on this thread, for now here's a brief update 😀
I've now owned this #green59 for almost 14 years, but now I'm spending less time in California I've made the decision to bring it to the UK, yesterday it arrived 🙂
First job is to give it a wash after it's long journey, then hopefully over the winter months I can start on a few improvements 💚💚
So watch this space for updates.........
