Title: My 59 project. Post by: fridofreak on March 13, 2012, 21:43:15 pm Hello, i'm a newbie here and i would like to have your opinion for my ride.
Wen i got the car it was in resto look but i changed a few items to get it to cal-look. Some pics will clear things out. Let me now what you guys think about it. The power plant is still the 30hp but i am working on changing the gearbox and engine for some more hp. more pics will follow of the changing...... Greetings Fridofreak Title: Re: My 59 project. Post by: fridofreak on March 13, 2012, 21:56:50 pm The previous pics are like i got the '59, and here are some like it is today.
I renewed the brakes front/rear and ad a bigger mastercillinder with dual circuit. Deleted the resto parts and added brm's, nardi steering wheel, koch grills and adjusted the rear height. Front tyres are 145/65 and rear are 185/70 It has a 2" narrowed adjustable front beam and dropped spindles Can someone tel me if the height is like stock? Thanks....... Title: Re: My 59 project.

Thumbs up for Freddy !!! I owned a bug, KG, T2b but they al were seventies cars so its a bit al new for me the 59; i have another projet running a 71 fridolin but there is a lot of work going on.

Post by: fridofreak on March 15, 2012, 21:33:24 pm Yesterday i got the mirrors from a friend to try fit them, these are Hella 4004 they are made of plastic it feels like cheap but on the other it can not rust :).
I try ed to present them on my car but i couldn't look at it from a distance so i have to cal some help so i can look at it much further then my arm is long ;D, is there someone who has some pics of these mirrors mounted on a bug??? What do you guys think of these mirrors for my '59? personally i think the support of the mirror is a bit to big but on the other hand i like the special design??? Please let me know..... Thanks Greetings Fridofreak...... Title: Re: My 59 project. Post by: Worm on March 16, 2012, 16:11:50 pm Stay with the stock mirors
