This is my original paint 1962 with original interior.
It has a volksfab narrowed beam (www.volksfab.com) with Cb performance drop spindles and disc brakes. Porsche pattern rear drums with Early 5.5 fuchs in the rear and 4.5's up front, all wheels unrestored like the rest of the car. Tires i am running 205/65/15 in rear and firestone 125's in front.

When i got this car i decided to throw on some accessories i had laying around, so inside has a unrestored 14" empi GTV wheel with early berg shifter, Early Empi Door pulls, Hul Seat recliners both sides, Original ALbert mirrors. Early speedwell tachometer.

I even have a correct year of plate on it with an original 62 tag

That is pretty much the same as I would ride my car!! Only my plan was to go with a trip speedo and early pop-outs as well, but otherwise it's PERFECT!!!!

You could bling up the rims though, I think it would look awesome!!! Cool

Great car, man! Cool Cool Cool
