You can, but it won't be a 58/59 Beetle anymore...馃槈

...that's dangerous thinking...it'll start with improving the ride and before you know it you're into major modifications of all sorts ...not to mention verging on collector status :thumb

do the obvious suspension upgrades, irs and front end.
The old Beetles ride ok, just add a lowered front end to them and the ride improves dramatically. They wont ride like a later Beetle but then again this is all partof the charm of the older Beetle. Also redo the seats with new foam and padding, this makes for a dramatic improvement too. Plus new Shockies and they do ride noticeably better.

Just slip it on a late model pan. Even with mods the early setup wont handle as good as the late model.
