any handling mods while doing mini resto

I will second that! I actually did an IRS conversion to my 67' beetle with the body on, only took me like 10 hours. just get all the parts ahead of time and make sure you get the pivot installation jigs, makes the job simple. also I actually kept my stock torsion bars and spring plats form my swing axle. I just cut the spring plates down and drilled them for the bolts. adds a bit of time to the conversion but you already have the parts so free is always good. anyway if you have any questions about the conversion I would be happy to answer them.

Fair enough

well that was easy

I'll stay swig axle for the time being but will look to go IRS in the future I think! At the mo it would add a fair bit to the cost with gearbox, cv, axles ect but will keep it simmering

whatever works. whats most important is that you have fun and end up with a car that does what you want it to do.
