Hi.
I and a few others have been/are putting waterboxers in beetles and even 1303R has turbo'd one. Frame horn welding is not necessary but is a nice thing to do if you have the opportunity. I'm not into putting a cage in cause I don't like the look of it, but at some point I would like to put in genuine heater channels from Mexico - the ones with internal strengtheners.
Everything I read tells me to to steer clear and sell the Urethane mounts I have for the gearbox, and replace with stock ones until I can afford to get Rhino mounts. Just food for thought.
effvee - I think he means a beam axle front with IRS rear. The best of both worlds and a recognised and desirable setup
FYI - I go under the same name on Volkszone.com - pop over and say hello if you aren't already on there.
