Hello from Madeira Island - Beetle 67

VWRoss

Hello everyone,

my name is Rossana, i'm 20 and i'm from Madeira Island ( Portugal ). Recently i bought a 67 Beetle. Has some work to do on the chassis, but nothing serious, the interior was very dirty but after a complete detail now i can get in the car Laughing

Before / After

The only mod by now is the steering wheel, i change for this one ( i don't know if it's rare, but here where i live there's a lot of Beetles and i never seen one like this )

I hope to learn a lot here, because i want to lower my Beetle as soon as possible !!!

I leave you with some pictures taken by my boyfriend, and if you are a automotive fan i suggest you guys to visit his facebook page:

to your question..

i have mine with this type from CSP-Shop and also dropped spindels.

i don't really know which is better.

my advice is, you should check what type of front beam you have, because your 67 must be a 66 model (205-5 bolt rims), in summer 67 they changed to 4-bolt rims.

the point is, the 66 model should already have the new front beam type (67 and later), so it might be, that you have the new "4-bolt rims" front beam, but still the 5-bolt rims (earlier -67).

i don't know if it is described correctly, just take a closer look on these parts (also the dropped spindles)

sorry i don't know the names of the beams in english, but when you search online for adjustable front beams, you will find the difference.
see what i mean:

Hello everyone,

i already installed the sway a way but i think i welded them in a very aggressive angle.
Please tell me if they should have been welded like on the red stripe ( parallel to the beam )

i ask this because the car don't lower more, and the front suspension doesn't work.

I'll wait for help.

Thanks
