Re: checkin in from the states!
first on the list was lowering and narrowing the rear! i turned the torsions and added early beetle short axles.
Re: checkin in from the states!
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!

Re: checkin in from the states!
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?

Re: checkin in from the states!
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?

hi mate nice bit of work on the beams what would they run in at price wise $$$$ ?king_tuk wrote:finished up the air version of my beam!!
Re: checkin in from the states!
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!!!!!
