A couple more pics to compare, sorry they are not the best:
sackmcgannay said:the section you have drawn - is that a separate part that i bolt on - using same/longer bolts or is this something i need to weld on (like the pre made beams you see for sale)?
have the ends of the arms been cut down? an the beam looks like a replacement item.. altho it will still need a good look over to just double check.. there was a story about a company producing very poor quality beams not long ago if i remember right, was this company US based??
sackmcgannay said:and i'm sorted - but i wont be as low cause the top shock mount will now be lower
jacks906 said:now the rear really concerns me:
removed rear top shock mount is because someones cut the chassis, chopped top shock mount off, moved the chassis section up and welded plate at either end..... this REALLY needs wheel off and better photos as if its not been strengthened properly this is not strong at all and will collapse!!!!
also not handbrake cable/cables fitted
an again shock mounts front an rear
all in all not too bad and easily fixed, i have seen worse UK buses MOT'd on the road, mine included before i sorted out previous bodges
plus i'll PM specs on mine to ya dubscum save clogging up thread :mrgreen:

I would put a new beam on it, much easier if you can afford it.
Fuck me, I thought this would have been a home botch job, not someone claiming to be a VW restorer!! :evil: :roll:sackmcgannay said:Name and shame - san diego classic volkswagen restoration (sdcvr)
