Update on the SubaBug....

[ricola]

I'm keeping a VW gearbox this time and not cutting the torsion housing, Jak didn't cut his either, just reversed the rear cradle and used a mid-mount.

You can use quite big angles if you choose which CVs you use so I'd stick with your current chassis if I were you. The main reason I didn't was that with the cab I don't want a cage and I think I would loose too much strength out of the chassis. I also want to retain the stock back seat. If the stock gearbox breaks, I'll upgrade to a Rancho pro street or similar with long ratios.
