Possible Project (Type 181)
I was late to the party on buying a standard Beetle and a 1303, now something weird has re-emerged in my mind as a possible project. I know it's off the wall but if the weather clears, there's a Type 181 (Thing, Trekker, Safari, ...) I would like to check out. And, yes, I know I'm posting to the German Look forum.
![]() Okay, two simple questions. One deals with handling. One deals with ride height. They're intertwined so I'll explain my desire rather than place a formal question or ten, and leave it open-ended to anyone who would like to respond. Even if I got a 181, I would want it to handle. I imagine some answers would be the same as my standard Beetle thread and someone else's non-Super thread. However in this case I am not necessarily willing to just lower it and be done with it. If I did, I could ask Mendeola if their set-up would apply to a 181. (They say Type I Ghia at their site, so I can't imagine why not.) The ideal solution would be some sort of way of having a nice lowered stance for optimum pavement driving like I would be doing most of the time, and being able to raise it on the occasions pavement doesn't work or (like now) we have snow. I know an older Citroën could do such a thing but that model was not exactly sporty in its everyday stance. Any suggestions?
