Matty4 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi All I currently have a Lupo project (standard 1.0 shell) on the go and have the opportunity to purchase a 3L front aluminium subframe/hubs/shocks as well as the rear beam/hubs. Question is can these be bolted straight to a standard shell without modifications? I'm aware the 3L shell is the same as the GTI. Has anyone had experience of doing this conversion?

Derv Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I should think this would work. The exhaust on the 3L runs down the back of the block and over the subframe, as there is no gear linkage in the way. The bottom of the subframe is flat, so you may have to get creative with the exhaust. 3Ls don't have hydraulic PAS, so it would worth check for steering rack compatability. I think the rear beam is basically the same, so I can't see any issues there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Did you get this and try it? I'm also considering one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
