Why use the Speedster Clinic Chassis?
For many years’ speedster/coupe recreations have been based on a traditional shortened VW chassis. This popular method uses beetle floors with a bolt on sub frame to fit the body.

Speedster Clinic Chassis is different!

We start with a beetle donor floor pan, remove the standard floors and replace the frame-head with a tubular adjustable frame head.

We then add all new floor sections, outer sub chassis and fixed one-piece CAD designed bulkhead, this is then welded into an all new box section outer chassis added to this are laser cut CNC bent sill sections that make for a super stiff chassis. Our completed chassis includes, seat belt mounts, Speedster Clinic super heating ducting for foot well and windscreen, and integral seat mounts.

There are many advantages to the Speedster Clinic chassis, this is down to the design and construction, our super stiff chassis maximizes space this then caters for the tallest drivers in complete comfort.

With the short wheelbase of a speedster/coupe (300mm shorter than standard Beetle) We build integral seat base mounts that are moved back and more centrally mounted compared to those on a traditional shortened VW chassis, this, combined with our all new floors and outer sills make for much stiffer chassis. Our increased cabin size and safer stronger chassis make for a more enhanced driving experience.
