Wow that looks super!
Keep up the good work.

damn.. those wheels look good!

wow looks amazing! really good job.

Why using a ball joint beam ??
Everybody knows that a link pin axle will give you more drop without the risk of knocking down
the BJ's and -worsed case scenario- crashing the car.

I liked your Mk1 convertible very much, but I don't think you will turn more heads with the beetle.

I use long travel ball joints and drop spindles. The pan hits the ground before the ball joints stops.
I also flip the tie rods so make sure that I don't get a steer lock while driving.

I know that my old MK1 got more "WOOOOW" than this project.
But I still think the result for me will be the same.. I got the car just the way I want.
The look of the beetle will be more raw/brutal than the KL-EEN 1 project ;)

WOW, glad you're back in business mate..

Thanks :thumbup:

good thing you revived his cabbie topic.. i bet he forgot all about us ;)

:D SWEEEEET! :thumbup:

But why a beetle ?? :dunno:

VW made more intresting models then the beetle you know ;)

Yeh, Area51 has a nice 412 for sale.... ;)

Yeah Baby, talking about some cool air-cooled models... Beatles made music, not ment for the road without a sqaushing sound... :redface:
