The front suspension is either trailing arm or strut, the trailing arm has either link-pin pivots or ball-joint pivots, the strut has a few changes, but it's either one or the other.

Jeff is just bitter because I'm not making him one for his bus! Ok, fine, I'm not rushed.

Thanks, I bought a 1974 with a 1600 dual port engine. I am stoked. I have changed my plans however, while playing around on this site I have decided that the german look is sweet, so I am going for that. I am going to try and fuel inject it and possibly put a turbo on it. I will post updates when I do anything cool, like the fuel injection which should be starting soon (within the next month) I would like to get it done over christmas break, I am an engineering student, so that is when I will have some time and an extra car to drive around. I will try and build all the parts in my spare time (i work at a machine shop), so i will just have to install it over the break.

Are you going to use something like a MegaSquirt for you're FI so you can update it to turbo later?
