'73 SB with 1302 front susp.

[keltik_krewser]

hello,

my appologies, i know this all has been beaten to death, but i could really use the help

just bought my first super beetle about a month ago and im looking for some guidance. my bug has a production date of 6/73 but it still has the old style front suspension. im looking to upgrade in some way, need to know what needs to be changed out to use the later style struts. im thinking about going with a porsche setup, but im not sure if i want to go 924 or 944.

i have a friend with 3 early 80's 924 and was thinking of getting some stuff off one of his parts cars, what can i use? struts, brakes, spindles? would i be able to use the r/p off the 924 instead of my steering box?

my plan is for a german look, subaru powered (my other love), daily driver. i drive 50+ miles to and from work mostly on the freeway, and i want something sporty but not kidney jarring.

any input would be greatly apprieciated
thanks in advance
ryan
