This is still just an idea floating around in the back of my warped mind though. Will probably never see the light of day.
I've got one of those too. It also contains an idea.



That model was made in 1995. Six inches narrower in the rear with 'cantilevered' airfoil front torsion bars. Narrowing a Beetle rear end involves cutting and narrowing the rear torsion bar tube. I'd thought about a traverse spring above or below the transaxle.
