The R&P was only temp tacked in place when the body was on. Back then I had to ditch the sway bar.

Today I welded the R&P brackets in its final place, made new brackets for the sway bar, mounted the sway bar and R&P and made brackets to mount the body to the chassis.

Now the front is done, I started on the rear. The aligning is pretty good.

Not much progress lately. I am supporting son's football matches more than working on the beetle.
Made 2 holes to weld the cage mounting points in.



Dropped the body back on the pan and trial fitted the tubes that go to the gearbox. When these tubes fit properly I can start on the shock mounts.

Very small update.

Made some extra room for the gearbox by inverting the bent. Trying it look original

My route is not always the easy route.
Vwrankenstein's notch will be made of original sheet metal. Even to close the gab, of the shortened firewall, i am using modified original sheet metal. I hope that when it's finished this will give an original look.
