I finally had the time to check out my front end (76 standard beetle) Was not pleased with my findings. Both shock towers are almost rusted away, beam is fine. I would feel better replacing the whole beam though. I have searched the forum and found a post about someone asking about replacement towers for a 69 and if I remember right speedy jim recommended replacing the whole beam. I have searched a few part companies for the beam and no luck. Does anybody know how much these things run? I'm a little strapped right now, need to know how big of a piggy bank to fill.
Also I had previously posted about some brake and carb problems. Both are taken care of. Now I have rusted shock towers with one shock rusted free. Good thing I enjoy working on cars!!! HA!
thanks for the help!
