Welcome! So what's the scoop on Bertha? New to you or had it a long time? How was it lowered?

I got her in 2009 for $800. She was waist deep in dry dirt and tumbleweeds. Missing most all trim. cracked windshield. Needed Everything from wiring to brakes... The engine did run so I got about 10,000 miles on it and dropped a valve seat and overheated. And the wiring all fried up... So I did a top and rebuild And replace two pistons and an O-ring job.
Runs very well since then. She was a daily driver for about six years and I put at least 100,000 more miles on her.
I lowered her by Cutting 1.5 coils off the front and 1 coil off the back... I think 🤔
The list of people In the Corvair community that have helped me with her has been amazing!!! Love you guys!!
I took her on the Corsa West poppy run and it ran great.
