i could also use a more capable front beam assembly. I have a stock one on the manx right now. My desert VW very close to a class 9 car is pretty much done. Full built race trans from transaxle engineering, hand build aluminum body, and a 2332 vw power plant. thing is pretty bad ass.
as for the manx. right now i have a pan with stock front beam and a swing axle rear. i have a rebuilt swing trans with close ratio gears and a turbo 1915 power plant. Would like to convert the rear to 3x3 irs and at least larger towers on the front beam. I also need the 3 inch body lift and either buy or build a cage. then the normal nickle and dime stuff. Breaks, lines, wiring, steering. blah blah blah....
and my third vw is a Laser 917 (Porsche 917 replica) i have not been in the motor yet but i am guessing its a bigger motor. came with dual carbs and other goodies. and you usualy dont put those on a 1600. this car needs soem body work, paint, and interior.
so i guess i am 1/3 finished with my VW car collection. LOL
