hey i was wondering if a 1974 beetle came out with balljoint/swingaxle?
there is one i might be interested in purchasing for the body. but if it is king and link i dont think i will want it as i am somewhat interested in handling.

The '74 standard bugs came with both.
I have a 73 beetle with Balljoint front and swing axle rear.

If you can't laugh at yourself you can't laugh at anyone else! Because life is to short not to LAUGH
so no 74's came with king and link pin. cos i dont want king and link pin. but have come across a beetle of which is said to be a 74 beetle. its not an L bug or anything. i was thinking of buying as project instead of my 71super. (super has a fair bit of body rust whereas 74 apparently has none, is all stripped back ready to paint).
which will in the long run cut down costs.

it will either be a super (curved screen) or a ball joint/swing axle standard beetle. both were sold in 74.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!
ok cool. nah its not the curved screen.
i just wanted to make sure it wasnt king and link as i heard this is a bad choice for a performance bug.
dont mind swingaxle so much as it will be more of a straight line car than cornering. but could always do an irs conversion
