great work as always. with the airfilter instead of cutting the bonnet open i would say build a housing around it and just have the wing hole. should be enough i rekun. just keep an eye on stuff flying up off the wheel.

well...
if it's worth it to you yes. all depends on having a good person to do the work.
1303/2 and later beetles are less sought after and cheaper to get than early ones. but they are not making them any more, as a VW owner i would say if it's possible, save it.

I have tons of cars like that I want to lower them but I don't have a clue how to lower them, How did you do it? i just removed the pins that go through the wheels (axles), drilled new holes higher up. also had to mod the arches a bit. takes 5 minutes. dinky purists will be furious tho

Go different; slam it on huge shiny rims, VIP-style sorta. these are hard to slam, I have a 85 passat that is the same and the front shocks have the tracking arms on them. so hard to find collies or so, I am sorting this prob on mine in the winter and will post up how I go about it. other wise, I love them. lovely cars, loads a room and style. go for it.

had a quick scan of thread, dunno if anyone has pointed out yet but this is the same as tax exemption and old mot regs etc, the two points against the regs tightening up as i see it are one the thousands of vehicles that would have to be checked due to a change, buggy's, kit cars, hot rods, 4x4 and so on would be monumental task, not to mention the the proud owner army of said vehicles and two the amount of politicians and the like that have old and non compliant vehicles in their ample garages, i can't see Tim PM being very happy about taking his MG's and Austins to be checked over.
more to the fact, i come from spain where the ITV is very tight but still the dedicated find ways around it. hey it may even be good to stop under par home builds and shabby workmanship.
