Hey I need some info from you experts!
Hey guys today just found out that I can go and pick up this VW fast back looking thing for free if i want it...
Ive looked over it (in the dark), and all i know so far is that it has drum brakes all around (with 4 stud pattern), an automatic gearbox and no
engine.
what i want to know is wether it will have IRS or not? the only reason i want the car is to use all the suspension bits for my buggy frame, and i
dont want it if it is swing axle....
so yeah, please help!!
