Surprisingly solid for being 50 years old.....was advertised as a 59 but the VIN and engine show a 58 model that was sold in 59....build date in 57.

they look like panasports...minilights.
But its got five bolt disks on it...from a C The drum brakes really are a nice setup. If you go disks, look at using beetle setup, the new stuff. It will bolt up on the rear, but the front is a bit different. At some point the 356 and the beetle have a different spacing in between the tubes on the front beam. I think its late b/c but Im not sure. Measure center to center on the front beam of both a beetle and your car. If they are the same, you should be able to use the dropped spindles from anyone and they should fit. You dont need dropped spindles, cause it will adjust, but the offset of the steering linkage makes it worth doing, plus all the bearings come with those kits...the disks and calipers are ghia or type 3...so simple to get.
