Hi Volkdent,
I have done some drawings on the "keeping the frame head" theory. It just wasn't happening. As you will be aware, the 928 upright has a very low mounted steering arm. To get any kind of decent steering arrangement in and around the tunnel part of the chassis was impossible.
I accept that using VW spindles means something could be made to work, but we weren't.........so I didn't!
If I was doing a "bolt-on " assembly, I would still lose the front axle.

Martins' front end still has alot of work to be done to it.
The box frame has to be tied into the cage, the shock supports are part of this, although I was looking into remotely mounting them and using bellcranks.
All the bracketry for the wishbone supports have to be closed
up,steering arms made,petrol tank mounts, inner wing mods, etc..etc...etc.
It will be worth it in the end.


p.s.........I think it was Volvo 340. I will check.

Ross.
