first on the list was lowering and narrowing the rear! i turned the torsions and added early beetle short axles.

got rear wrapped up. its pretty narrow!

was able to slip an 8" wheel in the rear!

now on to the front! yanked the old beam and i am replacing it with one of my own narrowed t3 conversion beams!!

and this baby is getting an early ghia dash!

What narrowed beam set up are you running.
I ask because i would like a narrowed front end in my squareback but don't really know where to start?

the beam i'm running is my own. i build em myself! they can be built with shocktowers and fitted for an airbag!

why did u add the bug short axles? is it so u cud tuck the wheels in at the back more?

n did u cut the spring plates for more drop without it bottoming out?

does this mean u can use bug stuff on it now at the rear?

love the stance on the square and narrowed beam/rear end. How does the bagged beam get sealed on the top tube? may be ok over the pond but here in UK that would never last especially with the sh*t on our roads and would fill up with water and crud. Also are the beams based on king and link beetle beams using the square torsion bars instead of the splined type 3 ones?

Sorry for all the questions!!!!!
