VW Type 3 Beam Shave

Got a low Type 3? Then this video is for you. Speaking from experience, I've damaged a front frame on my own 66 Square years ago. Now that I know how simple this mod is, I think it's a must for any lowered Type 3. So grab a tall glass of water and sit back and watch a dude learn a new upgrade. Special Thanks to The General.

Thanks for sharing, alot of good info. Can't you make a skid plate similar like the type 1 skid plate ??

[@the_Wagen]

I think the shave gives extra ground clearance. A skid plate would constantly hit the ground.

@@the_Wagen Understood, would be great if you made the sleeves for the type 3 already bent with the stud and holes already drilled. That wat all I would have to do is unbolt the coller , cut and drill the hole for the lower sleeve to bolt to the beam. I don't have access to welding equipment where I'm located. Is the pre-bent sleeve ideal a possible item you could make and sell??

[@the_Wagen]

@@MobileSportsMedia Since they are made per job, and if the hole is not drilled in the right spot it may not work.

@@the_Wagen Ok understood, thanks for your time. Have a good day.

What is the best year Type 3 to buy?

[@the_Wagen]

67 and earlier. 68-69 still look early, but have a gas door and rubber knobs on the dash.
