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
Futue te ipsum!!!

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 !!!
want any vw bits old but like me, Made in Germany!!!
