Chasing more reliable power he eventually tried the Subaru platform & never went back. We go over the most important things when doing a conversion. The easiest to swap.

When it comes to 80's type 3's no one can forget George Delfinos Shockwave. It was first featured in Hot VWs Sep 1984 as a full body light blue square back with graphics. Don't forget the 4-12" subwoofers & 1400 watts of stereo power. The George decides to raise the bar! On a whim while being bored George takes a sawz all to the square backs roof. Then begins the build of the decade. George also has been into car audio even owning a stereo shop. Hear about the times during the 80s in Bakersfield where high tech looking VWs were the norm.

Chase Hill out of Reno Nevada is known for helping you get a good ride out of your slammed VW. Chase started out making custom wheel tubs for buses. Being a Union ironworker by trade he welds for a living. With loving slammed early bugs he used his talent to extend the trailing arms for re-centering the wheel in the arch. It also fixes the steering issues with 6" narrowed beams on super slammed beetles. He's been in the game from way back in the late 90's. And like a fine wine he will not extend your trailing arms before their time. Lead time is 7-9 weeks but well worth the wait for handcrafted excellence.  https://www.facebook.com/cage66fabrication/   instagram
