He now has a adjustable beam for raising and lowering the front end...Some do this instead of using dropped spindles......I am not a fan of ajustable beams.

Thanks. I have an adjustable beam. I didn't like the ride when it was set at its lowest; I needed special short shocks did not absorb shock and the turning radius was pathetic. I assume he cut out that center section where the leaves go into that "T" slot, rotated it then rewelded. That takes some serious geometry.

Looks like he was installing a select a drop system. This was a hell of a job, well done.

Awesome photos! Looks like a happy VW family!
The Fiats must be hard to come by, at least in good condition. They rusted so bad!
Super smart idea with the Twingo top! Easy to come by.
Our schoolbus was like the one in your photo. No seatbelts and that flipping door very hard to close for a kid! But still have all my fingers and good memories!
And who won the football game?

In Poland winning Fiat 126 in good condition to be restored is not very difficult.
A game won by the kids;)

I remember they rusted as you washed them. All Italian cars back then. Some even rusted in the agency, on the sales floor!!
Keep the photos of the Beetle coming!
Saludos from Mexico!
