I found the spoiler on eBay, it has now been sent away to be moulded in and glassed into a bootlid so it should look like a one peice unit! Fingers crossed. The glassing was one of the few things I did not want to try myself, Maybe small parts but not something of this scale as my first try. Craig |
Great stuff. It's recommended you stiffen up the pan if you plan on doing a few track days and while you have the car torn all apart. I wish I had done this with my 1303. The inside wheel would always lift exiting out of a hard turn and stepping on the gas.

I have a few things being done/bought already to help, I have a rollcage which is going in, that should help increase rigidity (although its only a 4 point it should still help_ I have a front Strut brace and a rear 4 point strut brace, this should reduce flex and hopefully increase handling characteristics.

welcome to the forum

looks an Sounds like a Sweet build can't wait to See more.. Welcome too..

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
I have some updates from today, repairing the rear panel :) I seem to have gotten it slightly off but I am sure I can sort that out http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a...k.jpg~original http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a...n.jpg~original |
Great work! I'm always amazed at what our British and European mates can do in a cold single-car garage!

Despite rumours to the contrary, Beetles (especially later ones) have impressively stiff bodies; it's even better with stich-welding of all seams and/or a six-point cage tagged to the A and B pillars and the rear wheelhouses inboard of the rear damper towers. The suspension benefits from 26mm or larger torsion bars in the rear... the reduction in squat will help keep the inside front wheel on the ground |
Thanks Oval. I now hav a little more done on the back end but no pictures just yet, i have also stuck another coat of primer, she is getting there slowly but surely

My car was very neutral. I had a half roll cage (4 point), rear sway bar, and stiffened up the rear frame horn section in my 1303 (below in blue), but I still wish I had tied the suspension and made the car a bit stiffer front to rear (strut towers to rear torsion housing). I sold the car a couple of years ago. These are 40+ year old cars and do flex when you push them hard. I suggested that before Craig replied back he was adding strut braces, etc. Up to you it's just a lot harder to work on the pan after it's painted, seats, carpeting, etc. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=451436 http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g3...4.jpg~original |
Thanks, I am not goign insane but she is having a rollcage front and back strut bars but I am already a bit past doing much more and to be honest, Its not goign to be a mental track car just a nice street, / track day' drift car
