I have just started to bring these fiberglass kit cars in from the US.
I am trying to get the first one on the road, I am learning heaps as I go. The more I learn about VW's the more I love them...
They are called the Wombat in the US, I was planing on calling them the Combat in Aus, However that name is taken by rover mowers. So no name as yet.
My web site is www.xcars.com.au
It will be fully operational after the first one is on the road...nn[ Edited on 09-03-2005 by Indi ]

Hmmm so why the ball joint pan when the bug's got a mcpherson front end? or is it a late standard? Looks like a super to me.

Hey Indi, that yellow one is awesome. Can't wait to see what u got on ur site when its all up, i will definitely look forward to seeing it.
Good luck with the project to mate.
Oh, and one thing. Was a little confused, and tried looking on the net for images to see, but whats the visual difference to tell a ball joint from a K & L front beam?

Easiest way to tell is a K+L beam has straight shock towers ball joint ones curve outwards at the top (K+L shocks mount with a bolt and BJ use a stud)
Also BJ has no bumpstops, the torsion tubes are spaced closer together, and more importantly uses ball joints insteal of pins!

Thanks guys,
I thought that it was a ball joint, however I now realise that it's a K&L pin.
It's all a learning curve, I'll get there in the end.
Cheers..Jon

I meant to say BJ beams are spaced further apart there.
