heres my beetle bought it a few months ago, then collected parts to put it closer to the ground. got a DUB 4.5 inch narrowed beam from LJ, got 165/50/15's for the front and 195/50/15's for my fatter back wheel Picking up a sunvisor soon, got a 50's yellow lensed spotlight on the way as well as tie-rod ends and drop spindles. next on the agenda is rust reapir in the A-pillar and heater channel. give me your thoughts and feedback, thanks ben. a few now/before/during photos

Sweet ride man. Have you got a build sheet on here? Keen to know about the rear suspension mods. And final tyre choice for front and back. Also, any issue with the flappers rubbing away the sidewalls?

Rear suspension is turned down 2 splines, with notched spring plates. Had adjustable ones but they werent much help.

so today i decided to take the front wheels off and take them to get sandblasted so i can respray them all that light blue. also will have a tad thicker whitewalls. got them primed this arvo came up really nice.

also took it on its maden voyage today with the drop spindles, hit the frame head on the road a few time 🙁 may raise it half inch before valla.
