Blizzard's rolling rebuild of a 1303 1975

[Blizzard]

I did not post anything for a wile. But just like owdlvr I also would like to keep this forum alive. I have not posted any updates about my super beetles because I was distracted with a (new to me) old VW.
Last April I bought my first bus. So first a few pics and updates on the "new" '73 deluxe 7 seater bus and than I will show some updates on my supers, the red and the black one.

This is what the bus looked like when I bought it. Stock hight, wheels, ugly amateur interior panels.


This is Germanlook.net so I will post some related updates on the bus.
First update, was for better road handeling.

lowered spindles and new Koni shocks in the front.



Thicker torsionbars, and also new Koni shocks for the rear.


Other wheel options are a set of Cup2's and a set of original Fuchs.



It has a 1800cc Type-4 that needed some new parts.
Vintage speed exhaust and stainless heatexchanger replacement tubes.
