By the way the Razor will do ***(fast) pretty easily. It wasnt the smart thing to do but it was kinda fun/scary. And scary fun is still fun.
Unfortunatly for the purist(you) I'm gunna keep it a long long time. 8)

Note: doing *** in an aircooled VW on public Highways is illegal and mildly retarded I dont reccomend it to the general public. I do not recommend or condone such actions.

*** stands for a number I'm not gunna post it. :lol:

A buddy of mine did a 4 hour photo shoot of it. It'll take awhile but the pics will be super nice. I'll bring it by and let ya look at it if you disarm the dasher launcher. It did win 2 trophies if that helps. :wink:

There's a few more pics of it in the type 3 ghia section on Samba.

I wouldn't trade that T-34 for 10 Westy's.   I'm hoping and praying that Scott doesn't  get "Rat-Rod" fever while looking at that little jewel. [-o<  [-o<

I'm done "monkeying around" with it. Now I'm just collecting lil type 3 parts and t34 specific stuff.
It's going to Rick soon to unfix/fix the prior owners"bodywork". Dont worry these things are hard to find ....what are the chances of me messing up another one in my lifetime?

I am curious if a Type-3  IRS pan would go under the T-34 body ?  At least you could lower the car without picking up so much neg. camber on the rear wheels.(aka Porsche 550 Spider) I would think it would drive a lot better and it wouldn't look like somebody tried to put 25 pounds of DoDo in a 5 pound box.  :-k

The pan is t34 only but you could drop the entire rear cradle out of it and d osomething like that. A tarans mission lift would get rid of the camber but you would have to murder the car to pull it off. I'm having a set of custom drop springplates made that will get rid of alot of that camber.

I'm not 100% sure either, but it seems possible.
Like I mentioned I'm going to use a 2 inch extended drop plate so I can crank it back up a spline or so. No camber no crazy toe out...much mo betta.

Eat Mo Grits! :lol:
