hi!

thanks lads! its a beetle swingaxel gearbox Baz-it was built by a crowd in America called Rancho.it has a strengthened diff,but not LSD.third and fourth are welded,and it has stronger axels and sideplates-the swing axel handling is a bit crap because the camber changes a lot as the suspension moves up and down.hoping to get an lsd and get rid of the swing axel soon..

Sounds interesting !
I'm assuming its a Subaru gearbox modified?
 
sorry,no Baz,its a vw Beetle gearbox,with the 4th gear ratio changed a bit.you can buy an adapter plate to bolt the Subaru engine to it,and a different flywheel.the one i got is made by Kennedy Engineering in the USA
 
Said I'd throw a few more pics of this up here as Colm (my brother) nothing on here or the Internet much at all.
Put hydraulic clutch in
and adjustable pedal box,
a short shift kit. And a few other bits inside.

A Quaife LSD
and heavy duty side plates were fitted and Independent rear suspension with AVO coilovers instead of the swing axel.
