Can't say i ever really drove one, just costmers in and out of the shop. My girlfriend drove an orange one in highschool. I took a bobbed Baha bug in trade for a car i sold. Had a Porche dual carb and 5-speed tans, headers etc. The guy said it needed the valves ran. I didn't know anything about them and didn"t have anything in it, sat for several months. Sold my 73 GT Ranchero and it had a hitch, bug had a tow bar. I told the guy that he had to take the bug with him. 😁

Very cool!  Fun little car.

Oh, yes those are ?well used?
I have new foams and covers for my ?seats out
of a buddy?s ?65 Mustang. Just hoping they?ll be useable.

Brother has been busy with other stuff and made several orders, been waiting on parts anyway. He got the heat and fuel gauges back from the rebuilder. All calibrated and new lens installed.

Got a new ignition switch and got it imstalled, the old one had the lock pin wore down and you could still start with out a key whem it was on lock.
Had ordered new carpet, but didn't like the salt and pepper red. He had ordered red loop from different year, ('58 has a lot of one year only stuff)  Got scared it wouldn't match the seats, so he canceled. Thought about it more and just ordered the much cheaper black
carpet for now.

The new seat foams came in so he pulled seats again amd stripped them down. Lol, they were way worse than either of us thought.  He said just touching them they would crumble. He's repainting the frames and waiting for new batting and hog rings now.

My Dad always told me it's not fun getting old!  I hope things get better for you!
