my name is rich.




thats how he set up the boxes. he used the bugzilla kit but has it like backwards. i have it all apart now trying to find a better way.
Welcome Rich.

I've read about the Bugzyla setup but never actually seen one. I'm not so sure it's done wrong...It just looks like it was moved forward to shorten travel (Why I couldn't guess)

Those reduction boxes 'll make that car a mountain goat. More for climbing than flat out speed. Theres a lot of weight out there & I hear wheel hop is a b!*@h, but everybody who runs it loves it.

I just use 31" Super Swampers for my ground clearance




Sweet ride. Can't wait to see it in person.
The VWs you can sleep in are more gooder

Now I see it... It looks like he's got long travel adjustable spring plates on there. They might have screwed up the geometry if he bolted it to the "factory" holes

It looks like the axles would be way out of line if they were moved back to the other bolt holes and that would be havoc on the fulcrum plates.

the axle was too far forward the old way and the adapters were upside down. i fliped it and used the original bolt holes and everything lines up great except the factory shock mounts wont work. my guess is the guy did all that to keep the shock mounts. i am just going to make my own

BTW - Ant, isnt there a guy on the other side of the road from you that has a bug in his driveway under a carport? I thought I saw him passing by the other day on the way to the Mall...

yes he has a 1977 std. i took care of some rust issues on it but he don't want to join the club. i already tried. the black 67 mustang in his driveway is also for sale just throwing that out there.
