They don't get much lower than this!! :o(They can't really, this one is sitting with its pan on the ground!😀)
I thought I'd allow myself a little last-minute stress relief before returning tomorrow, so I thought I'd pull the front end out of the mostly-stripped squareback that will be finding a new home at the tip next Sunday.

Lowest type 3 in Australia maybe???:P

Lowest t3 belongs to Brian!!!! Air bagged rear, Adjustable shock at the front!!!!
But very close!!!!
BTW Its a driver and is reg'd!!!
Now lets not rain on his parade!
Bet its a prick to park.......
:party
Does his sit on its pan when the suspension is down? There's been a bit of interest here on airbags of late, maybe you could get some photos for us? I'd really like to see some pics of the setup. I'd also be really interested to know what sort of money he spent and maybe where from? Hey, better still, why don't you write an article for the new e-zine soon to be hosted on aussieveedubbers.com!! :thumb:thumb:thumb

Ive been busting Pauls nuts to get bags for vw for ages! he gets hydros, but bags, not often!!!! That place is my second home!!!!! Brian did all the work himself!!!! It doesnt lay the pan on the floor, cause he has channeled the thing!! It sits lower! Its sills are on the floor at the lowest point, while the pan is still off the ground! Does that make sense!!!!! And the thing drives nice!!!!!
Cheers N!
Thanks for the info for Melbourne:thumb
Channelling is awesome, the only way to go ultra-low. I've been looking at my squareback all week and almost changed my mind about disposing of it!

Brians car rocks.
Very cool Col, love the wheels. They're the same style I'm using on my manx.

Dont know how its lower, cause when the bags on Brians car are deflated, the "SILLS" sit on the ground, not the rails!!!!! BUT!!!!!!
N!
Just wait until I get the squareback out of the way and start on the fastie..... 😀

The Lower the Better!!!!!! Cant wait til I get the body on to the pan, to see how low it will sit with the Bags!!!!!! Want to see whether or not I will have to channel it to get it as low as I want it!!!
Cheers N!
U 28 cant wait to see it man,just put a ultra low beam in the beetle cb perf dropped spindles,wanna bag the back so I can make her dance.
KK, I should have the bags within a couple of weeks, when I get them, you can have a look to see how easy it is to do!!!! I have to see if I can still narrow the beam with bags though!!!! I will set it all up first, and then I will see!!!! I want to lay pan!!!! and srcape the plates!!! and freak ppl out!!!!! and......
HEHEHE N!
Going to the tip!!!! 🙁 We restore worse than that over here 😀
If channeled in which Brians car is ,It is has to be lower.But my bike is much lower than his bike.
Unity, easy maybe, but not cheap. I don't drive a VW because I can spend lots of money on it - quite the opposite. 🙂
Joe_G, come and get it, you're welcome to it. I wish someone would take it away, even if only to cut patch panels out of for another restoration. 🙂

In my last post on this topic, I said for KK to come and have a look at how "easy" the air bag process will be! I actually meant Kustomkool, but KruisinKombi, you are more than welcome to have a look!! From what I am told though the bag Kit I have bought is a very easy one to install, And with the help of a few guys that do bags for a living, I think it will be one days work!!!! It is nowhere near as complicated as bagging a truck!!!! Actually, what I should do is post pics of the kit, in its Knocked down form!!!
Cheers N!
The other thing is this!!! How much do you think you need to redo/replace all your total suspension? Alot! With 1500-2 grand you have new suspension and the choice of going up and down!!!!
Cheers N!
I played some more today. 😀
