pickstock - June 7th, 2012 at 01:53 PM

this could be the wrong place (i don't come here enough to cruise around and find where it should be)
So now im in a bit of a pickle.......
Can someone answer these questions for me
Can you identify the year?
what is it? (swing axle? irs?)

Is it possible to use it in the off-road buggy?
or is it worth selling it as is, or scrapping it?

PS if the mods think it should be moved go for it, sorry for putting it in the wrong spot

Its a swing axle, 6 volt beetle gearbox.

I think it's 1958 to about 1963.

Won't be quite that old, 58-60 was still the old 36hp split case boxes, that is mid 60 on one piece jobby

not just early just isnt right, probably wont be strong enough, too hard to convert to IRS etc

Thanks Joel, I thought the split case boxes stopped with the oval windows. I too have learnt something tonight :tu: :)
