my baby bug ***now more lows!*** and turbo power!!!

i have beaten the golf! i would put piccys up but im thick and cant work my new phone!

u wanna slam my bug as its a bit high

i think this need pictures with some kind of reference point?

can of drink, money, phone, anything under or next to the lowest part of the car.

sure i heard you scrape like hell leaving on friday so well done for managing to go even lower!!

here are some piccys

first one is on level ground and a pound coin resting against my beam


and this is hot it sits


next on the list is a transmission raise and then another notch down on the rear

slamming is not a problem drop me a pm if your interested.

wow actually THE lowest late bug i have ever seen.

i think you deserve 9 now because thats just silly.

that is simply awesome! (i love the way it makes the pound coin look the size of a 10p)


its even better because i can fully appreciate how difficult it must be to drive it like that.


looks like i need to get the pound coin out again and do some cutting........

its quite an experiance to drive. its very loud driving to work and back as i have to drive down country lanes that arnt too smooth! it turns lots of heads as i scrape and bang past people. i love it. just need to drop the rear more then i can drop the front a tiny bit more!

the Camaro is going, and there will be beetle on the drive i want to make the scraping and banging noises

its just a bit lower now :| i still think you should put stock wheels back on either silver or colour coded. do it.

looking awsome josepho, stock steels coloured coded i think would be awomses! can you sort my poo perg out maybe soon please mate?

f**k me joe now thats low! looks sweet as a nut

This was crazy low already. How can you drive it like that!?

its easy get in turn the key put it in gear then scrape everywhere! lol

got a few more plans over the next 2-3 weeks. firstly a frame head raise that will bring the beam up by 1" and at the same time drop the front by 1" !!!!

secondly is engine/gearbox raise. i now have the right nosecone for the box so all i need to do is cut the rear floor out and clear it for the box to sit 2" higher up. and make up some new mounts.

thirdly if there is time i will be removing rear jacking points and the rear floorpans and replace with sheet metal to give a few extra inches clearance and then another spline down on the rear!

possibly lowest late bug without air? one day!!

so in away its having a body drop?

i wanna see the running boards as low as the green KCW heap

tbh it most probly is the lowest late bug around i havnt seen one that low.
