ive seen this thing around in verious pictures and never known whose or what it was until now, I actually assumed it was from europe somewhere and people over here just thought it was cool lol.

Anyway cool project man, im not much of a vw fan but this is fuckin cool. Will deffinately show the old when hes over next too cos hes a fan of Karmann Ghias and will likely love this.

Yeah that's the one, was going to leave to hayhole to explain but basically we chopped the bottom of the beam & body then added those plates to the side of the beam to replace the bottom mounting point, added a crush tube on the body and all bolts up nicely. We were quite stoked with the tight tolerances we achieved, no slop in bolt etc, all nice and solid.

yea, went from like 25mm of clearance, to 140mm and not lifting the car anymore than higher profiloe tyres have

stoked as fuck, and finding out how to lower the rear was sweet, wouldnt say its easy but alot easier than we both thought
