	hi everyone new to the forum, thought I would post up some pics of my car its a 1969 vw beetle 1300 I'm the 3rd owner from new, its had two very small repairs behind the running boards and that it - no other welding! engine specs are - original engine fully stripped and checked 1641cc pistons and barrells ported twin port heads 009 dizzy twin choke webber carb standard exhaust due to ground clearance issues! body - 40 years or weathering! suspension - front - 4" narrowed beam with shocks sway away adjusters cb performance 2.5" drop spindles shortened steering arms track rod ends flipped upside down to clear feul tank extra travel ball joints uprated short shocks rear- lowered 3 splines notched rear springplates uprated short shocks wheels- marathon beetle steels with 135/15 tyres up front 155/15 tyres on rear interior- as vw intended and still in great shape! this has taken me nearly 2 years to get it as it is, everything has been done by myself including engine rebuild and making the front beam!

	Nice! I'm loving the camber and lowness. Is that on air-ride? If not, how the hell you get over speed bumps? Cars like this have so much character in my book.
