Manta Mirage ride height

[slurpysi]

Hello all

For those who know what it is, I am preparing my Manta Mirage for a trip abroad. The previous owners in the US had an air ride system for the front shocks, run from a small pump in the engine bay. It was tired so they scrapped it.

The car is rather low and long at the front and I would like to reinstall a basic system to lift the front for speed ramps etc.

It has vw Beetle front suspension.

Anyone able to recommend anyone who could do this, I am in Kent

Sorry I can't help, but nice looking car.

I saw a picture of one of these on an American "Vintage" car website, not only stating that it was a McLaren M6GT, but also that it had been driven by Clay Regazzoni in the Targa Florio!

I'm sorry I can't be specific, but it would be worth asking in hot rod / custom type circles.

This was on the Ultima page and may help

You may find some decent answers on an air cooled VW forum, but Lime Bug do an air ride kits for a VW front beam

It's been a while since I was up to speed on VW kit, but it's not a bad place to start your search.

Cool car btw
