Aircooled VW South Africa

Couple pics must say I like this look very much

Ok so been quiet for some time... Motor going in this week then month end going to JVR Kustoms for a custom front beam, fixing the floor and doing the brakes.

what beam are you building?

If you just want a lowered ride you are wasting your money. That car can be dropped without spending a cent.

Speak to Ryan.T or Splitz first, before handing out well earned cash for nothing.

Well basically a adjustable one with new front brakes etc etc.

Thanx. Kinda getting the beam for a very very good price. And it has new front brakes shocks etc as mine needs to be redone in any way. So not really spending that much. But will chat to them about the rear

The front beam can be lowered in the same way as the rear, by adjusting the torsion bars.

Do not do anything to the back, till you have the engine in and the full upholstery and everything is done.

As these type 3's have a heavy ass, and they naturally ass down.

With my type 4 engine, I need to run a roller skate under the engine to stop it bottoming out........

Squire, can I have the other roller skate for my Type4 fasty?

Just pushed the price of roller skates through the roof.........

Thanx guys! And yeah will wait till I get the motor in etc etc. Getting last bolts tomorrow... So will fit the engine in the week. Will get an idea on how low the rear sits then

Does'nt adjusting the torsion leaves affect the handling of the vehicle? harder ride?

Fitting it later today.

Also spraying the wheels and cleaning the Carb.

Now to find a electronic choke for my solex 32 phn-1 carb...

Did you fit the MC ? the one in the pic is for a beetle and not a direct bolt on?

Also heard something like that.

Jip I did. Had to lengthen the metal rod from the pedal to the cylinder. But works fine. Had to modify the brake hard lines too.

Got all my replacement bolts for the clutch and pressure plate. So can put that in the weekend and get the motor back in! Almost there
