hey man me and my brother are building a bettle to. what years is your brother's? my brothers is a 61. so far we have striped it and it is ready to hit the body shop.......

 

the one we are building a 74 it is gutted we are just waiting to start doing the body work then we are going to paint it before christmas thats the plan. then that gives us lots of time to get all the electronics in the car and working right

 

Yep bought them used off Matt Sevcov. Very nice guy to deal with. Anybody want to take a guess at how many k my car has on it? (1998 model.)

Thanks Si Veloz.

 

no prob Brandon..

 

I guess 150,000km . I heeard Matt has some good deals sometimes. roughly how much did you pay for those rims? I am considering buying a rim/tire combo off a guy in calgary for 1000$ (near new), wondering If I can get a similar deal through Matt.

 

These are Konigs so they're expensive, tires are not great, but wheels are MINT, paid 1100 for everything. Double your guess and you're close.

It all depends what you want to do, If you just want to go up and down and not very fast you should be ok with a stock frame as long as you take it easy and your frames in good shape,If you want to hop alot and high and 3 wheel and put lots of batterys in the back youll need to do things like your rear arches,box in the c channel that runs along the car under the doors, your spring pearches,your front crossmember,a-arm mounts,rear spring pearches ect ect basically the more the better every part that isnt reinforced is a weak link,your upper control arms would need to be extended and reinforced your lowers would need to be reinforced your lower rear trailing arms would need reinforcing,if you wanted to have a high lock up in the rear youd need to shorten your driveshaft and extend your rear upper trailing arms to compensate for the pinion angle thiers so many varibles and ways to do it I could go on forever,if your interested pm me Ill show you somewhere where you could get a start learning about this **** and meet a few peeps from your area that are in the game.
