Bob, in your experience…
As the body is off for a respray I need to focus on the rolling stock so's that all I need to do is drop the body on it.
I was going to put a direct-fit brake fluid reservoir, thicker front and rear bars, better shock-dampers, a new steering absorber… and possibly an adjustable front. Balljoint to be checked...
I have never driven a stock KG or Beetle. The one I have was a hack-job lowering: several leaves removed from both torsion packs. So I have no clue what stock is like. I imagine a KG is fun to drive stockfish?
I understand urethane is noisy and not worth it.
It's a 1971 with IRS and from discs.
My question is this… in your experience, what should be done to make this car handle well and be fun to drive?
THANKS!
