Picked up a set of Flat Six Fuchs nice day outside so I decided to touch up two of the four....turned out fresh. The other two are in decent shape so I wont mess with them for now.

Hey Dennis, glad to see she made it in one piece. I can't wait to see the fuchs on it, something I dreamed of but couldn't bring myself to do/afford. As far as I know this car is a late January US spec model, thus the overrider bumpers (still have the holes in rear fenders) and egg tailights. I found one post on the chalk marks behind the spare on the Samba years ago. It said those were from the factory designating shipping containers to be loaded into? I saw a 1st year convertible lowlight ghia in Santa Rosa yesterday and the first taste of regret hit my tongue. I told the owner about my selling my 55 and he said I gave it away. Oh well, its only a very original, clean, not rusted, #matching semi oval. I'll find another someday, right?!%#%#*$(%^@$#!$#@$#! _________________ 1987 Wolfsburg Edition, Vesuvius Grey, automatic

they look good. But I think your car would look better with the stock wheels back on. I would paint them the color of your car to make them pop though. Just my 2c's. |
