1974 beetle
hey i was wondering if a 1974 beetle came out with balljoint/swingaxle?
there is one i might be interested in purchasing for the body. but if it is king and link i dont think i will want it as i am somewhat interested in
handling.

so no 74's came with king and link pin. cos i dont want king and link pin. but have come across a beetle of which is said to be a 74 beetle. its not
an L bug or anything. i was thinking of buying as project instead of my 71super. (super has a fair bit of body rust whereas 74 apparently has none, is
all stripped back ready to paint).
which will in the long run cut down costs.

it will either be a super (curved screen) or a ball joint/swing axle standard beetle. both were sold in 74.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

ok cool. nah its not the curved screen.
i just wanted to make sure it wasnt king and link as i heard this is a bad choice for a performance bug.
dont mind swingaxle so much as it will be more of a straight line car than cornering. but could always do an irs conversion
