Aircooled VW South Africa

nice work on the spindles.... not to hard? I have a spare set to try this.... want to do them for some $$

loving the slammed look!

so ride quality, overall what's it like? i've ridden in one before and it was like being massaged by four turks with a hard on, not the most pleasant ride one can have.

Actually ride quality is great. its like sailing calm waters..
i was driving the bus for 2 weeks without front shocks and the ride was pleasant.
because my beam is narrowed i think it gives a better drive than a bus thats just dropped

Horay for the shockless and narrowed!!!!



Just a Qeustion here, have spoken to a few people who say driving a lowered bus is better than stock height, goblin do you agree?

*ducks, before the *

Very COOL bus Goblin just a quick Question on the spindles. Did you just swap them around? No other work done? no cutting or welding?

Very cool bus!!!

Holy moly Daniel.....you'll have to tell us more

The spindles have to get machined to clear the link/kin pin


BTW If anyone is interested in doing this i have a thread that shows you how to do it, pm me if you would like it.

Post it under the guides subforum young 1. Sure there are some that will be interested.

Ride quality is great, way better taking corners. there is some work that has 2 be done

Great to hear.....

i am so chuffed that someone actually lowered something like this and attacked it with spray paint and a stencil!
I love the checks on the roof! I love it doesn't have chrome wheel hubs! Everything about this bus is what I would have done!

SO SO SO CHUFFED!!!!!

Glad purists were not taken into consideration in this. GOOD JOB MATE! LOVING IT!!!!

Mince didn't you know this is a purist forum?
