Great progress. :thumbsup: I know it's a tad early but what are you doing for wheels and tires?

I am in Havre to answer the last post from the other page. To answer Yasha, the wheels on it are what I am keeping. It took me 2 years to track these ones down. Rears are 5.5x15 sport wheels from a porsche 914 and the fronts are the same just 4.5x15's. Front tires are and will be 135/15s and rears are 185/65r15's. 185's because it is the widest I can fit under the fenders at that height and with that backspacing. I haven't worked on any of the bug lately because I've had my focus on getting my bus on the road. So far, I have rebuilt all 4 cv joints, replaced the front tie rods, installed adjusters and lowered the front with them, and reindexed the rear 2 notches down. Picture just to show what it was like and what it is now.
