camber needs to be there...swing axle ....directly linked to gearbox....and im not upgrading to a CV setup yet....rather expensive and time consuming conversion

That is sweet!, im thinking about making something similar but im jsut waiting on getting a Kombi engine from a family member, then i know i can definatly get the running gear off an old kombi (the engine is rooted). Can i possibly get some high res photos of the frame that you made? i am thinking of doing something very similar but instead of using round pipe im thinking of using something like box section, can i please get a few photos and dimensions to go with the frame?

Thanks so much!

Well it looks impressive. My uncle is hopefully going to be able to get me a VW engine for the one i wish to make, but the whole thing kind of hinges on this! Dont suppose you know anyone with a aircooled VW motor that theyd be willing to part with?
