The car is a 73 standard beetle with a brand new 1600 built by me. It had dual weber 44s and merged header with a dynomax muffler. I am running koni's up front set at their softest. I plan on keeping them on that setting...it handles very nicely on that setting on both the street and autocross. The rears are still junk GR2's. Eventually i'll put koni's back there too. My race wheels are 15X8 steel diamond racing wheels with 225/50/15 kumho victoracer V700s. Everything else is pretty stock. My eventual plans are to get a new tranny with quaife LSD. But after building the engine, i'm broke
Floor pans were easy to put in. They just slid in and we welded/bolted them in. They'd be especially easy if your heater channels are in good shape, unlike mine which i had to replace. I dunno how good of a welder you are, but i had never done any welding before. I bought a Lincoln SP 135 plus welder and just started practicing on scrap metal. Pretty easy to learn to mig weld.
