That is something I have considered if I can work it out. What all places or frames do y'all recomend. This is one I real like at a glance just don't have any feed back on it.
I think this will largely depend on how much I make selling the stuff I have... Any one looking for a fiberglass body buggy or bill of sale baja. Both rollers ha |

that frame is well triangulated and braced, looks much stronger than other 4 seaters
the ad does not specify that it takes a linkpin beam, but it says you can use longer trailing arms, which are only available for linkpin beams. one more major expense. your car has a ball joint beam.

I think you'd be wise to start from scratch since you're still learning the ropes. Sounds like you can do the work you just need to be more familiar with VW parts and how they go together. I've been working on them for about 7 years and I'm still learning I don't know as much as I'd like too.
Anyway, take 'er slow and ask lots of questions and do lots of searches on google before you make any parts purchases and make sure you get the right things. It's inevitable you'll pick up a few things you don't need which is why there's still VW swap meets everywhere! hehe
Feel free to message me if you have any questions you feel funny asking in the forum. Gods know I've asked my fair share.
