Hi guys,

Here is the first pic of my newly acquired '59 Rag top Beetle taken at the recent Friday night cruise in Melbourne from Rancho Deluxe with the friendly VW and Luft crew!
It will be my project car and weekender in addition to my other VW, my MKV GTI -

MKV GTI build here



Specs:

November '59 build
Originally 6v
Original Colour Birch Green
Big window rear
Semaphores
1200cc
4-speed manual

TBA:
- 4.5" narrowed beam
- Drop spindles
- Front discs
- Stereo

Car was originally a mint green colour it would seem before getting painted somewhere along the way. Plans are to tidy it up and freshen the paint and motor.
So far have fitted a new tan interior, some Atlas white wall 'flappers' and 145 Nankangs up front.
Have taken delivery of a few large boxes of new bits and pieces from CIP1 including bamboo shelf, semaphores and snowflake tail lights.
Car drives extremely well and has been converted to 12v by the previous owner.

Hoping to get out on more Luft cruises also!

Ahhh very very nice sir!

Sweeetttttt!
