Title: daily cal-lookers Post by: donder on March 26, 2007, 20:00:09 pm hello,
Since i'am building my beetle ('59) to be my daily driver when finished, I would like to know who else drives his looker on a daily basis. Could you post some pic's and interesting info (engine, suspension, brakes, maintenance, technical failures, tires, wheels, stories, things to keep in mind when building,...) I want my looker to be pretty comfy and reliable so i can have the most fun of my restoration works. Thanks, Philip Title: Re: daily cal-lookers Post by: donder on March 28, 2007, 17:17:27 pm thanks jim,
is that the only looker that hits the street on a daily base? There must be more lookers overhere that use there beetle frequently. ;) Title: Re: daily cal-lookers Post by: 48IDA66 on March 28, 2007, 18:55:05 pm I use my 66 as a daily driver all year long, run a small "hot" motor and can tell you that IDAs work fine in cold weather too..
Car has being on the road 8 years now after a full body off restoration, but are now star to show some small sign off daily use, well I have fun driving it every day... ;) Title: Re: daily cal-lookers Post by: The Ideaman on March 29, 2007, 00:31:21 am (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/258625.jpg)

I used to drive Lukes 67 before this. Well, I had a 66 Nova Wagon in between.
