To much welding work had been done to that wall so i cut it out.

Replaced it with a fresh sheet of 18 gauge steel. Thats my new ride height too. It'll actually be a little lower. Originally i was going to run some euro style 18" wheels, but some things had been brought to my attention and i decided to step down to 16" wheels in order to get alittle lower. Actually im hoping to be sitting on the ground when im parked.

I cut a section of my frame out and fab'd these "C" notches out of channel iron. This will allow my trailing arms and cv's to travel much further up.

Then i cut the ends of my rear torsion's off and narrowed them 1.5" on both sides.

1.5" narrow

New rear tubs

Quit fuxxin around and do werk son.







Looks great. Can't wait to see it done.

Got a time frame in mind?

How is the engine mod coming along?

I picked up a Jake Rabys fan shround and a garrett turbo, but the engine is on a shelf. It'll be the last thing i do. Ive got it all mapped out tho lol.

Raby Who?

Raby's air cooled technology. They make these upright shrouds to convert a type 4. That way they can be ran in a early bay, split and beetle. The type 4 has a much larger displacement. We all know how much work goes into making a 1600 a 2 liter and it just makes sense to just convert it over. Mine will be turbo'd tho. I have a .48ar garrett and im doing a draw thru set up from a holley carb. The power valve on the carb will be plugged and then re-tapped from the side. It'll be boost referenced. Ignition will be the msd billet dist with street fire and a 6btm box for boost retard. Holley blue pump for fuel and a boost referenced fpr. A handful of other goodies too. Alot of cylinder head work comes first and balancing. Arp head studs and rod bolts etc.
