WANTING TO REPLACE MY FRONT BEAM WITH STRUT SETUP
WHO CAN DO THIS OR IS THERE A KIT I CAN PURCHASE

A LOT of work

A standard beetle (beam) does not have the body mounts required to support the struts

You could go A Frame I guess but man................... so much work

Doubt you would get it registered

go an speak to your local automotive engineer and see what he's going to require from you to change it over the whole front suspension.
you will be surprised at what he will want.

or the easy way just sell yours and buy a super.

Have some on a super donor incl whole front end...some parts need refurb like new insert on pass side

they do ride much smoother and handle a lot better Than beams $175 the lot incl. what you need on the body to take the struts plus freight.from 4305...?? we can leave out worn insert to reduce freight costs

maybe down that way some time soon so could consider drop off / meet up for deli !!!
