I finally found the perfect stance, after re-indexing the rear torsion bars once more, now I like it!
Now it is the perfect balance of ride quality and looks. The positiv camber of the rear axle is gone, now the wheels are almost parallel. The stance is still a little "nose down" - perfect, I like it!
that's the right look!
I also fabbed a new rear tray - not the original material, but at least a very close color match to the old one

buckle up it's the law - although not for pre 1970's cars...
Some enjoy the freedom of driving around without seat belts, for me it is an unsafe feeling.
So I ordered a set of tan colored seat belts - 2 automatic 3-point belts for the front, 2 lap belts for the rear:
If you are looking for e-approved seat belts - even in different colors - you can look here:

new ears day
Time for new rear view mirrors, the left one was looking a bit too used, the right one was a Variant's "elephant's-ear". So, I ordered a new set of "pig ears":
Soon to be seen on the Volksback!

The Volksback is back home!

8 liters !?!
Finally all 4 corners are equipped with the 2 liter Porsche alloys! Look.
4x2 liter = 8 liter ;-)
More pics to come, the cameras battery died... after 1 pic! Note the center caps, after weeks of waiting they also arrived.

Watch out! - the Volksback, now on the streets!
Finally:
There is a lot work ahead of me, but it runs fine and now, with the license plates installed, I can use it whenever I want!
The front tyres in 165/65/15 were not available, so I mounted the Ronals up front to get this thing going...
License plate is also not too bad!
Next week the 2 liter Fuchs wheels are on all 4 corners and hopefully the center caps will also find their way to me and then onto the Volksback!
