Just bought this `60/`61 Bug, going down the RAT route.
Just need to slam it, fit the rusty visor and venetian, oh and get it running!

SLAMMED!!

maybe you can help me do mine ?

Mate I would love to help but I`ve got too much on my plate already. In fact I may be pushing the boundaries of my Marriage to the limit!!
I`ve got to finish my house/garden/garage, finish my In-laws new property in Balhanah, restore my `59 Split and my `73 Crewcab and raise my 2 kids aswell as taking this Bug on the Ratlook trip.
Sorry!
Maybe ask Dave (57kombi) he`s nearly finished his Splitty and he`s only got 1 Kid!!
Cheers,
Graham.

thats ok just need to be shown how to lower the beetle once and then bob your uncle
thanks Paul
maybe another time

Well it`s quite easy, I used this thing called Photoshop!
Send me a photo and I`ll lower yours too!
The second photo is only an artists impression of how it will look when I manage to get round to doing it!
Got some Sway-Aways on the way.
Cheers
Gra.

nice rat!

pretty easy to lower an early beetle. Rear you just need to turn around the torsion bars a bit

Lowering the front is harder. you can :

- weld in an adjuster
this requires you take out the beam and strip it, you might as well do the whole front end whilst its all apart
-and or get drop spindles - just swap spindles, they are expensive though and they can move your front wheels out.

Lowering the front on a K&L front end can make handling a bit crap so you'll need to do some fiddling to correct this.

do mine for us will you Gra?

Here ya go Dan.
Sorry it took a while for me to do it, I`ve gone and got fuckin Glandular Fever.

now that looks sweet Dan!!!
that's the 54 is it ? the first time i've seen it
NICE

ooh yeah.
now just have to do it for real.
yeah Paul, that's my '54.
hope you get over it soon Gra. :kiss
