After the innerwing was done, it was time to start with the Porsche front beam.
Porsche sheetmetal underneed the spare wheel well ![]() When the car is finished it should not have rake. Now it has a 3,6deg rake, this is why the arm has to be 3,6deg. as well. ![]() Bend and shaped 3mm steel tacked in. ![]() The innerwing has to come out a bid to reinforce the a-arm mounting point. ![]() Paul.

As I told earlyer, I had to widen the innerwing a bit, so I had to try it with cardboard first.
![]() When the cardboard fitted, I made it out of sheetmetal and welded it in. ![]() ![]() Then I tack welded the Porsche bracket in place. I just had to try the shockabsorber. ![]() ![]() ![]() Paul.

there's a hole in the innerwing ;D. I am going for 6-7deg.caster, -1camber and 0 toe in/out.
![]() ![]() Inside of the innerwing, not much space there. ![]() And ofcourse I needed to test a wheel. ![]() ![]() Paul.

Unfortunately I had to little space to move the spindle up n down. after some internet searching, I found out that the golf1 inserts will fit the Porsche strut and is 2" shorter. so I bought a used set to test fit.
![]() if it fits I can shorten the complete strut by 2". Paul.

Point of no return (again)
![]() ![]() I had planned to use more of the Porsche innerwing, but I did not have enough space. Now I only used the upper shockmount and made it 5cm higher. When I find the correct position I will weld it in the innerwing. ![]() ![]() Paul.

Finally did some work on VWrankenstein again.
Started working on the upper Shock mounts Took out the rubber, shortend the the Porsche mount and made a plate to close the underside of the Porsche mount. ![]() Test fit the bearing Busch ![]() Underplate fits like a glove. ![]() After some welding and grinding, I fitted the bearing. Looks pretty original. This bearing fits the Golf1 shocks perfectly ![]() Bottomview ![]() Paul.

Today again found some time for VWrankenstein.
To make sure there was enough space for wheel movement I bought Golf1 shocks. The Golf1 shock are about 5,5cm shorter. Here's the difference. ![]() Now the struts had to be shortend too. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And again some trail fit. (I used the wrong (too big) wheels) ![]() Paul.

Cool last pic Paul! If your shocks turn out to be worn, I have a set of gas-filled Golf-1 shocks for you ;-)
