My 59 project.

[fridofreak]

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

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.......

Tomorrow I'm going to look for some mirrors Talbot style but they are hella's, if the chrome is fine for me and they look good to my car they are the next thing to add.

Thanks, i'm looking forward to have some fun to drive my first pre '70 bug.
Last weekend we went to "the freddy files" (first time out) and i really enjoyed the ride and the great cars out there. 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.

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 , 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......
