Well I am about to embark upon building a new pan for my Manx, for those of you that made it to Fraser you will know why 😀
Anyway the plan is as follows:

- Ball Joint / IRS pan
- 3" lift 2" actual lift kit
- type 181 front stubs and ball joints
- 933 porsche rear stub axles
- type 2 cv's inner and outer on modified beetle axles
- golf master cylinder
- 4 wheel disc brakes
- 1800 kombi transmission and straps
- frame head supports
- relocatted rear shock cannisters and towers, twin rear shocks

Anything else you guys can think of while I am building ?

It's not your ultimate pan, it's your transitional pan. :repuke

I think you mean 944 stub axles.

I think a roof, and 2 doors would make it better 😀

I wanted 181 stubs :cry

Yes it is the transitional as I don't want to rush my other one.
Yes I already have front end braces
No I will not be buying any more Manx's , Buggies, or VW's for that matter, that is unless they are wrecks and I want the parts.

Brad, I'm just wondering why you're using an 1800 case and not the 2L?

Because the 1800 is very strong too(not as strong but still good), but has lower ratio's (diff ratio). So it has lower gearing for offroading.

That's why I went for an 1800. But soon I will have too much HP and am going to a 2lt.

I got the 181 parts from one of my Buggy mates in teh USA. Ebay prices are silly, I do buy the ball joints of Ebay though as the guy on there sells the german ones cheap.
