Im still working on the frame, I didnt like the side profile of the top, so I cut it all back apart lol

Ya so I am totally stealing your idea. I have a spare buggy and it sooooo needs to be done up like this. Thanks for the idea. Yours is way cool, can't wait to see it finished. This will make 3 VW projects I need to start next month.

Thanks again y'all, its been a fun build. Looking forward to seeing more of this style on the streets.
I do plan on rear bags at least, not sure about the front yet. Would be awesom to set it on the pan! |

I have one bag on the back of my woody that looses air and since I haven't worked on it, it's come to rest on the stop on that side which puts the opposite corner on the front stick up in the air a foot or two. Whenever I glance at it I think it's pretty funny. I wanted to be able to slam mine as well but I'm a little to frugal to spend that much on the valving and pump not to mention running out of space.
It would be neat to just set it right down on the ground when you park, then blast it back up before you take off.

With how light rails are I bet you could hop it right off the ground too.

pump, valves, brackets, lots of parts to add to a simple car. to each his own but what makes it so cool to me is how minimalist it is. |

understandable. I just like that you can have some suspension travel and be able to scrape the asphalt.

I like.
I wonder how it would look with a wider track.

Looks cool, but the truss diagonals in the sides are not properly placed.
