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  |
