Project Back N 72 VW Bug moving right along....

Post by fortyshooter » Mon Jul 27, 2026 11:06 pm

New wheels and tires on it....little in the front and bigger in the back. Finished the front end drop spindle install which lowers the front about 2 1/2 inch for good stance.My race type seats installed on my custom mounts. Now working on the sound system for it which will replace the backseat. Having FUN with this ride! :D

Very cool!
My parents had a 71 VW Squareback, and in 1977, that became the car I'd get to take out when I first got my driver's license. Brings back a lot of memories looking at that interior.
