Manx Club

Most of the parts are aftermarket VW as I built my own chasis for the car. The front beam is stock width with 4" wider, 2 1/2" longer trailing arms. The rear has 3x3 trailing arms with an aftermarket torsion housing. I am using Fox shocks all the way around. The motor is a 2332cc VW and a ...
