hi guys , i'm a french guy on the vw scene since 20 years , and always dreamming about building my own cal look with a stroker engine
so my dream come true with the start : buying a 67 model

i found it at 5 km from my house , she was in good shape and still original

plan is no to restore it but just to transform it

engine is going to be a 2276

[/quote]

Yes i just finish to convert the gearbox to short axle , i found short axle at the last european bug in , but was missing the bearing cap  witch are spécific , after 3 months looking around me , i found a very good stainless model  at ISP west  , put pics later

here is some pics about the front beam
it's an oem that i cut and shortened 6cm ( 2") , and weld a sway a way
idea was just to put the Wheel Under fender with  the CB dropped spindle + vw disc brake ( 4x100) + adaptator 4x100 / 5x205  and the result is pretty good to me










here is the result with the 10 years old  brm 4.5x15 mws ( ET 11 i think )

it"s a copy of csp one , i bought it with a german man at the last european  bug in  , as i understand he was  machining man ( sorry don't how to translate , in french we say "usineur"

he got more than 10 exemple at the back of his car

price was really good 150e

and i think fit better than the csp at shock absorber

i got 2 hard metal iece , and a friend weld them

look at this pic , he said you must weld all around if you want a hard piece




now i'm waitnig for the engine back home to test him in place in order to weld the lower piece
