it wasnt that the damage was bad, just kinda made me think twice about spending lots of money on her... would rather make her a nice daily driver, sell her to a loving enthusiast and move on... although my beloved president sign shall stay with me forever!
did u see the notchon ebay that was in brisbane for $800.00 (starting price)...i think someone said it was owned by someone here...not sure what the end price was...don't think it sold for much above asking price...there were a few on ebay at once

here is another good site
http://www.superbeetlesonly.com/forum/index.php?s=a537f8d67fca0f4b84a012503d515967&
has died off a bit lately - but there is still a wealth of knowledge.
and

this really caters for all beetles but the Germans really like the Supers.
The strut set up is more to their liking
Supers rock by the way
Futue te ipsum!!!
pretty good...
i love it when i find info on what i love...vw

yeah superbeetles only has really died over the last few years. It was really big a few years ago, bubt seemed to have a few forum crashes and stuff which really slowed it down.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

How long have i been round??
I can remember when SBO was by itself. Then James?? the Shop Talk guy joined and told us about the site he was doing and we should merge.
Then SBO was asked to leave cause of all the band with they were taking
Then the outages started :jesus
Still havent found what happened to the Tech section there.
Might just go and ask now.
Will get back to ya's

Have a read here
http://www.clubvw.org.au/struts.htm
The best way really is to put a set of struts in like the ones in the picture
Should have my new ones in for the Nationals. My super will be "hopefully" making a debut new look there
Just lowering the cup stuffs the stock insert
You can go a shorther or softer spring - but handling suffers.
By the time you put new inserts and springs on you may as well have bought the adjustable struts.
And dont let anyone say they are dearer than doing a Standard beetle with an adjustable beam
To get a correct comparrison price up a lowered beam with 2 Berg adjusters (done properly) with extended shock towers that has also been narrowed with new shocks.
THAT is what you are comparing to.
Like a beam - you cannot cut a strut tower. There is a lot of work, especially in a 2 bolt set up to get it to work properly.
Have a look at my car at the Nats KK
Futue te ipsum!!!
not gonna be at the nats bizarrea... dragonskin calls! hiking competition and my 18th birthday = a lot of drunken staggering on dirt roads!
looks good bizarre
