60 ratty bug (how low is to low) new pic
This is a young mate of mines car. He is still in high school and decided to lower the bug after school one day. He taught himself! I think he might
have dramas getting out of the driveway to get his licence in it!:P

Thanks Jo for doing that. Itll keep that 62 deluxe winger happy:P

Well picked Ragged. Well i have to be honest, the young fella tried to trick me aswell, the pan has been removed.
But man he had the thing real low the day before he took the pan away.
He has done it all himself, the car was from my collection and runs real well.
He couldnt drive it very far with it as low as he had it but young boys are allowed to have fun.

I will take a pic of it during the day, it looks real cool parked out in the front yard next to the youngsters "54" oval and bay micro bus deluxe.
Some boys get a good start.

I used to wonder that very thing...but to me, they still look very odd.....all i have to say bout how low it is, is g-luck, hopefuly yours last longer
than say a month? do to the fact your tires tread will wear quicker on one side of the tire than the other side....
Aircooled for a reason...water is for boats

Funny mate it does look familiar. I think they both lived at my place at one stage and one very original 54 lived somewhere near your place for some
time me thinks.
He has been driving the pan from under the 60 as a sand rail, and he got that tired old 36hp in the 54 running and driving aswell, i didnt even give
it a go it looked and felt that bad!!:thumb
