Chapter 3: The First Mods
I knew right from the start what I wanted. I wanted
a pale resto-cal looker, Loads of chrome, polished empi 5 spokes
and loads of period accessories. Slammed!
The first thing I needed to do was to get it lowered.
I wanted the ride to stay nice so i opted for a pair of propped
spindles. These were more expensive that swayaway adjusters but
meant I could keep the standard height shock absorbers. I was going
to get belts in the front, repair a nasty rear quarter panel and
get the whole thing looked over. and the rear susspension dropped
by two splines.
After a few calls I opted for this work to be done
by fox classics in sheffield. I went on holiday for a week and returned
to find a nice slammed but otherwise stock beetle. Cool.
And this is how it has stayed until 2004.Now read
