i don't have any to show, but i've seen them in many beetles and buses around the 'net, so a little looking would probably turn up some. they tend to be in european owners' cars, or so it seems.

niiiiiiiiiiice work! you're one of the few people who seem to actually do something about the big hole in the package tray, too. or at least you're one of the few people who mention it.

awesome, thanks!

i think i might build a 944 with a full super beetle drum brake swap and my rusty, narrower trailing arms. it's cool if brakes have patina too, right? :p

I just found two of these in my toolbox and I assume they're from the suspension I pulled from an '85 944, but I can't remember what purpose they serve. Can anyone tell me? I didn't use them, but I...

i believe i've read a couple of places that you can use the short-side axle from a type 3 auto when narrowing the irs and they're each like, 1.5" shorter, but i might have made up those numbers.

the ej22t is a sohc, but this one i found is missing the turbo. so maybe i won't be getting it, since i'm not gonna shell out the $500 for a turbo for 30 or so extra horsepower.
