Yea, that's the look.

Do you have a link to a "how to" raise the engine - where the gear shift is still in the tunnel.

Would you cut the glass body above the tranny?

The best site that I've found is KCW.....it's not really a how to do page, but it' gives tonnes of pics and ideas.

If you wanted the engine and gearbox higher, you would have to look at cutting a but. But 2" should be more than enough for the average Joe, I can't see myself slamming the speedy as low as what some of the americans do it.

Apolgy ---- It a T2 tranny nose cone not a T3. I think that's the key to drop. Where to find a T2 tranny? The bracket is easy to make.

I'll ask around....

I found Type 2 nose cones for 64 euros.

Type 2 is lower on the gear shaft.

WHy the hell doesn't our beetles have IRS, that would simplify so much.

I got a T2 nose cone from Volks-spares - R650 Part number 211 301 211G, there is about 40mm in height differance.

Got some empi drop spindles on order with Volkspares. Hope that will get me down and dirty.

Also got a full set of drums from Alfa, R300 a piece. Hope they fit ok.

cool, you going to cover up those rear quarter panels as well? Or leave them painted?

vader · Post by **vader** » Mon Nov 14, 2011 11:19 am

leave them as is!!! Thats the SHITS!!!

Hi there

Leaving them as is. I didn't get the glass fibre panel for the rear. So no covers.

It doesn't look that bad. I have a small flat seat at the back in the same colour as the front seats.
