Haha I was about to do the same thing, you've dug up more than I can find though, it is insane even by Air-Cooled terms.

Wow, that is pretty incredible. I'm kind of hoping it's on air just so It's driveable! Either way, that is 100% brilliant.

I love how the rear wheel sits so far forward in the arch. It's like an unintentional nod to watercooled Volkswagens And it looks flaming glorious ;D

So it's got a beam axle..? How's that work then? And I feel a right thicko now as I still don't get why it's toeing in.

No. Air-cooled VW front suspension is known as a beam; it's by trailing arms attached to transverse torsion springs: But as you can see the whole assembly looks like a big beam so that's what it gets called. The whole thing can be narrowed fairly easily for that classic air-cooled tucked look. Suspension at the back is by swing arm: As you can see, joints at the gearbox end but not at the wheel end so the wheel stays perpendicular to the drive shaft all the way through the suspension travel. So lower it lots and you get loads of negative camber. Anyway. Awesome . There's a hell of a lot of work in that and it looks excellent for it.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

Plus...it won't look like that when it's driving - but if I have to explain how/why then there is little point if you catch my drift Yes I've seen heavily air cooled VW's, and I know it won't look like that when driving. I think it's a shame that it looks like it's destined for the scrap yard once you've parked it up. I hate massive negative camber.

Awesome!! I love the camber but then I started out in bugs and vans, those water-cooled guys that try sooo hard to get camber, we get it for free ;D Plus the camber means its harder to tuck a wheel (when it opposite happens) when giving it the beans!
