Thanks Ed.  Look forward to seeing you there.

Hey Allen…please forgive me i’m new to all of this. Is this done from inside at the shifter? there are two bolts that hold a plate down for the stick , is this where I go in?

Hotel reservation made. Roy’s reservation in my name is canceled. 

Just throwing this one in for fun.It is likely your front end will not be as pristine as the ones in the prior pictures. Most of ’em will look like this. On a more serious note, this crusty front end does show the torsion bars sticking out where one trailing arm has been removed.

Thank you so much. What a great site this is. That fixes the ride now I’ve got to fix the driver side tire from rubbing the fender.

Great series of front suspension photos in this thread over on The Samba:http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=491123

The torsion tubes are the two bars than run across the front end, between the uprights/shock mounts. Remove the trailing arms from one front side of the torsion tubes. The trailing arms are the two bars shown n each side, angling off the torsion tubes:Inside your torsion tubes you will see ends of these:The most common “softening” mod is to…[Read more]

Guys and Gals,Is it possible that the left fender fits differently because it has to? Right up front on the left side of the front beam near the fender is the steering box. There is no object like that on the right side and I’ll bet that’s why the left front fits differently than the right front fender. But then again…although I’ve worked VWs…[Read more]

Welcome aboard Two Blades . My MiGi sits on a 1970 VW chassis. Tons of smiles.

OK, registered for Rock Star parking. 

Yes indeed! Makes me even more proud to be one of the Brotherhood of Bills.

Hey, I too have trouble but just the left fender rubs. It is closer to the tire on flat ground. I did not build it so I don’t what to look at first. But if the right is ok why is the left not. I replaced the shocks with standard VW/1970 shocks and no help there. What’s next for me to try? all stock no disk and no adapters.Shakey572013-10-05 20:33:53

This is good news. Thank you. Now with all the rods and bars under the front. Which am I looking for? Im new and have not work on a car sense 1977 and it was a Chevy.

Hey Paul Mossberg. You said the left front fender is different. Is that why my tire rubs on it? What do I do about it?Two Blades

Wish I could make it but Moneypenny isn’t assembled nor road worthy yet. But definitely next year. Already planning on Carlisle 2014 and VaBch Auto & Air Classic 2014. Plus enjoying driving my TDr. Have a great time you folks.

I contacted Donna but she won’t go that distance topless. She should be in attendance at Carlisle, though.

CHANGE:  Due to other things in my life, I have to move up the last day to get one of the rooms that I blocked out in the Oceanfront Inn.  I had previously said that you had until the 15th of October.  I will cancel all the extra rooms which have not been reserved by those of you who are attending on the evening of the 13th of October vs the 15…[Read more]

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and incentive to finally take on this project.
