I have these 87 944NA parts, what can i do with them

[pantswagen]

hello
-your 64 will have the inner strengthening do-nuts on the inner parts of the torsion housing to chassis
-these are not welded inside-ie the chassis to tube

-so
-pull out the stock bars
-witha recip saw greased up -slice throug the torsion housing athe the outer chassis
-on the inner cut through the wld
-the half way through the hole in the chassis
cut horisontal a few inchs over
-cut down at an angle to the width of the tube
at the 944's inner pivotts - measure the width of the frame horns of the split
-cut a line off the pivots
-drill holes in horns to remove bolts
cut split torsion off frame horns

-cut split shock mount off

cut off 944 arcing body mount
drill and tap 944 hoousing for trans mount
-cut off roll bar mount-it will be whaere chassis is
-wed in 944 torsion
-insert worn blades and tack th dove tail in

note - don't even bother spinning the spring plates
-leave it stock - its perfect
-
now you will 'HAVE' to get 85.5 hubs and the 29 discs - 4 pots
-you dont need the stub axles-they are the same

you will need to fabricate new shock mounts
-BUT as you have narrowed the springplate locals
-the shock mounts to the inner chassis now anyway!!!
-fit trekker cups
-54cm is the driveshaft length
-the t25 vanagon has these stock
use the sheaths from the 944
-simplypull the torsion end off with pliers - cut sheath down
-the end fits the splitty chasss

after all that though
-you can only fit ONE wheel
-and its 16 inch 993 wheel - et70
-or a 17 inch cup 2 9j 70et
-you can run a 255 tyrs though - they still just fit against the springplate
