Scored a type 3 rear suspension and trans for a $100. I'm going to make a small trailer that I can pull behind the Bug or my pickup. It will only be about 42"x84". Not sure how fast I will get it done with other projects and work but I will post my progress here.

Up on saw horses and ready for some weight reduction surgery.
Just when you thought you have seen it all, Why use a cotter key when you can just peen the castle nut instead.  I ended up just splitting the nut on this side to get it off.

Nice , any idea what you're going to top it with ? We did something like this a few years ago with a bug torsion , and the back half of a bug . Turned out great. I'll be checking in on yours .... good luck.

It will be roughly 42"x84" with about a 12" high railing. Mostly for moving motorcycles, vw parts and stuff. I can pull it with my bug or truck. Anything that is too heavy to lift into the truck bed which is to Damm high! Still trying to decide on a tongue length, Is there a formula for that?
