Looks like it is, since its got crotch coolers. Even if it is a 51, there's nothing done there that cant be put back to stock if you or a new owner
wants to. So I don't think you need to be too game to drop it like that.
Looks better anyway. Nice job, would be great with some proper split tail lights on it. It doesn't get much better than a crotch cooler split. Is
it an OG RHD?

Just noticed they look like double groove bumpers, shit that's rare. Good stuff.:thumb
Got any more info on the car, or plans?
Joel - September 16th, 2006 at 09:33 PM

i didn't say i didn't like it, it's just that i wouldn't like the restoration brigade howling for my blood.
if i had a 51 ragtop (as long as it wasn't a perfect unrestored example) i would prob put it on a 54/55 pan, lower the front and add big brakes, a
big motor, rims, etc... i just thought that fitting airbags would involve clearancing the body.

Good work Damo.
helbus - September 17th, 2006 at 11:02 PM
I'd chop the top if I owned it, or maybe even volksrod it.
HotRodMatt - September 18th, 2006 at 08:53 AM
Had a look under on the weekend. Very impressive and tidy work Damo.
George will be impressed.

Nice, looks sweet without the hubcaps.

The bug is Georges, owner of classic veedub.
Yes, a bag kit will be available soon, made and engineered to aussie standards. This bug is fully engineered.
Its a 51, on a ball joint / irs pan. The bug can be returned to standard without much trouble at all. I have notched the rear shock support towers to
get it as low as this. Smaller tyres would let it sit much lower, as its resting on the front tyres now. I am in the middle of doing a 67 swing axle
pan, with narrowed beam and spindles. It lays on the ground and looks mad as. (pics soon)
pete wood - September 19th, 2006 at 10:49 AM
sweet mate. I actually like the hubcaps. What are they off?
And the with bags, do you still have shocks?
oval TOFU - September 19th, 2006 at 12:52 PM
beautiful - either up or down.
Ah, who am I kidding, it looks better DOWN
Joel - September 19th, 2006 at 06:17 PM
they look liek 356 nipple 'caps but what are the logos?
they look like empi badges

Yeah, still runs shocks.
kombikim - September 20th, 2006 at 07:14 PM
I was at Classic today & had a look.. fun to watch it going up, & down, engine off, - hiss when going down, "woops got a punctured car" & a bit of
compressor clatter when going up,
fun thing to have, & pretty straight forward to fit or remove,
they are Empii hubcaps, & for those that don't know, it is a daily driver, frequently seen with the inside & roof rack , loaded with packages of
orders going out, better to have a not fully original split window driving around like a real car, that everybody can see and enjoy, rather than a
more original one shoved away out of sight
kombi_kid - September 25th, 2006 at 07:27 PM
