Looks like it is, since its got crotch coolers. Even if it is a 51, there's nothing done there that cant be put back to stock if you or a new owner wants to. So I don't think you need to be too game to drop it like that.whatnow wrote:is that a real 51? if so you/the owner is far gamer than i.
Looks better anyway. Nice job, would be great with some proper split tail lights on it. It doesn't get much better than a crotch cooler split. Is it an OG RHD?

if i had a 51 ragtop (as long as it wasn't a perfect unrestored example) i would prob put it on a 54/55 pan, lower the front and add big brakes, a big motor, rims, etc... i just thought that fitting airbags would involve clearancing the body.

I'd chop the top if I owned it, or maybe even volksrod it.

The bug is Georges, owner of classic veedub.
Yes, a bag kit will be available soon, made and engineered to aussie standards. This bug is fully engineered.
Its a 51, on a ball joint / irs pan. The bug can be returned to standard without much trouble at all. I have notched the rear shock support towers to get it as low as this. Smaller tyres would let it sit much lower, as its resting on the front tyres now. I am in the middle of doing a 67 swing axle pan, with narrowed beam and spindles. It lays on the ground and looks mad as. (pics soon)

I was at Classic today & had a look.. fun to watch it going up, & down, engine off, - hiss when going down, "woops got a punctured car" & a bit of compressor clatter when going up,
fun thing to have, & pretty straight forward to fit or remove,
they are Empii hubcaps, & for those that don't know, it is a daily driver, frequently seen with the inside & roof rack , loaded with packages of orders going out, better to have a not fully original split window driving around like a real car, that everybody can see and enjoy, rather than a more original one shoved away out of sight
