my 56 money pit
the body have the channels removed and a metal bead instead of the plstic guard beading.
I,m using a 74 pan but removing the front and using a Mitshubishi L300 front end ![]() this allows me to use the front disc & 7" wheels t comply with road laws in Victoria Australia it will be channelled 40mm higher to lower car and keep wheel geometry. I,ll be welding in a complete 944 rear end 60mm higher for the same reasons as the front. ![]() rear brakes honda NSX stud pattern allows better selection of wheels front the same stud pattern ![]() gearbox porsche 915 . ![]() wheels will be 18,s rear & 17,s front. |

Hi 56oval,
nice project. Saw that you will be working with 915 gearbox. If you need short nose cone, front/rear mounting, axle flanges 100 mm,... ---> then have a look on www.bugat5speed.de Martin Bott |

Can you provide some additional detail about your front suspension. What body style did it come from? I'm guessing a truck? What it the distance between the wheel mounting flanges? Great project, let's see more progress!

the front end is out of a 1984 Mitsubishi L300 van Hot rodders in Australia have used them.The other front end I thought of was Fiat 124cc .

same width as super beetle and the steel arms are the same except for the longer axle & larger drive flange.you could do the same with the orignal torsion tube ,but in australia road adrs are a pain and using 944 rear helps me out.
