My project : Mexico Racer
Hello all !
First, sorry for my english language, i'm a froggy ![]() ![]() So, my car is a 1984 mexico beetle. I bought it last year in july and the first thing to do were the rear brakes. I rebuilt the whole circuit brakes with new parts from Germany only ! Then I bought 4 16" rims Porsche Boxster with 175/50/16 front and 195/55/16 rear. I bought new dropped spindles, new front disc brake kit in 5X130 and finally bought new rear 5X130 drums ![]() First, when I bought the car : ![]() Then with the rear wheels installed : ![]() Another pic from the rear wheels : ![]() After installation of the front brakes kit, I will lower the rear axle, install the rear fenders and taillights from 13/15/1302 (I hate the actual big taillights) and probably paint all the chrom parts in black except the bumpers to be replaced by the same in carbon if $'ok or paint fiber if $'not ok ![]() To be continued ![]() |

The camera makes it look a lot better then it is
![]() Yours look nice! Hurry up and get the front done I want to see the whole thing. The Mexi-Beetle still has a swing axle and uses a beam for the front right? |

Yes, Mexico Bug are like all the 1200, 1300, 1500... Swing axle and beam for the front... I started the work on the front, but ball joints are damaged so I will change them but for that I'm dismantling the suspension arm, then again late in the project

Hi folks !!!
The car is on his wheels... I finally change all the suspension ball joints... One brake hard pipe had to be changed too but and today, I I bleeded the brake system with my Eezibleed (very fast, good product) and put the front wheels on !!! However, a problem : The rotor hubs exceed and the front wheel caps don't fit ![]() Pics : ![]() ![]() ![]() To be continued ![]() |
