My project : Mexico Racer
Hello all !
First, sorry for my english language, i'm a froggy :eek: :lmao: !!! So, my car is a 1984 mexico beetle. I bought it last year in july and the first thing to do were the rear brakes. I rebuilt the whole circuit brakes with new parts from Germany only ! Then I bought 4 16" rims Porsche Boxster with 175/50/16 front and 195/55/16 rear. I bought new dropped spindles, new front disc brake kit in 5X130 and finally bought new rear 5X130 drums :rolleyes:... To date, only the rear wheels are installed on the car... This weekend, I'll install the front brake kit and the front wheels ! Enough talk, here are the pictures : First, when I bought the car : http://nsa14.casimages.com/img/2010/...0009303785.jpg Then with the rear wheels installed : http://nsa14.casimages.com/img/2010/...5925906664.jpg Another pic from the rear wheels : http://nsa14.casimages.com/img/2010/...0131582527.jpg After installation of the front brakes kit, I will lower the rear axle, install the rear fenders and taillights from 13/15/1302 (I hate the actual big taillights) and probably paint all the chrom parts in black except the bumpers to be replaced by the same in carbon if $'ok or paint fiber if $'not ok :lmao:... To be continued ;) |

Yes, 3 years :eek:... When I joined (correct ?), I had no VW, but now, I have it so I show it and I post :lmao: !!!
Thanks to all for comment ;) |

Whaoooo !!! It's exactly that I want... Did you spy my mind from a long time :lmao: ??? Fortunately we're not neighbors, we could not differentiate them :lmao: !!! Seriously, yours is very beautiful, congratulations ! What is the size of your tires ?
|
The camera makes it look a lot better then it is :D. I'm running 16X6 ET50 / 205-55-16 the front and 16X7 ET40 /225-50-16 on the rear. Rubber is Michelin Pilot SX.
Yours look nice! Hurry up and get the front done I want to see the whole thing. The Mexi-Beetle still has a swing axle and uses a beam for the front right? |
Yes, Mexico Bug are like all the 1200, 1300, 1500... Swing axle and beam for the front... I started the work on the front, but ball joints are damaged so I will change them but for that I'm dismantling the suspension arm, then again late in the project :angry: !!! Don't worry, soon I continue the project ;)...

Let's go Frogs ! :)

Hi folks !!!
The car is on his wheels... I finally change all the suspension ball joints... One brake hard pipe had to be changed too but and today, I I bleeded the brake system with my Eezibleed (very fast, good product) and put the front wheels on !!! However, a problem : The rotor hubs exceed and the front wheel caps don't fit :angry:... Does anyone have a solution for that ?
