Congrats to all the new additions!

Hi, new to the samba as a member but quite long as a follower/reader.
Finally this week I bought a 1958 Lowlight!!! Color not ok, interior not ok, bumper not ok…. lots of things to be done, but looks quite straight....
Let us see what surprises it will show upon stripping it down!!!
greetings from Chile

Congrats!
If you are going to detail the stripping down and a restoration of the car, please start a new dedicated thread here.
I would be interested to follow along with the progress. _________________ How to Post Photos

Mine is too. How is your turning circle? Is the steering stiff too? Mine isn't as low as yours though. I'm wondering as a point of comparison.

Probably same as yours, but i drive lots of classic cars so don't even take in consideration such small things as turning circle i don't drive modern car anymore, so... _________________ https://www.facebook.com/vintagecustomcars |
