Das Volks Vintage Volkswagen Gruppe

Can someone translate for me? i'm not too knowledgeable with these old suspension set ups or that a transmission has a different case depending on the electrical system voltage?

The front beam is stock, not lowered or narrowed, but it does have dropped spindles which lowered the front.

Tranny is beefed up with the syncros weld to the gears and a 3.88:1 ring and pinion. Also it has a later case which is stronger.

Must be a Type 1 tranny that they put wider Type 3 rear brakes on.

Yes, they used a t1 trans with no redux boxes to lower the arse.

cool thanks, i think i get it. Looks like its sold anyway. Ad was up for less than 24 hours. no trip to north dakota for me!

Markus,
You looking for a new toy? whats the plan and what are you looking for?

mostly just day dreaming about split double cabs. But hey there was a time I was daydreaming about bay window westy and now i have one.

I should do the responsible thing and spend the money on a paint job, which i will bring up in a separate thread...
