2) By just changing the mounting system, my front end would fit just fine, actually it might be easier due to the Super having a rack and pinion system already.
Hmm. Walk walk me through this. I am very interested.

My suspension bolts to the front of the frame head, so a bracket could fabricated and welded to suspension to bolt it to the stock front SB mounting points, and the rear mounts already attach to the standard body mounting bolts.

Last one.... for now. LOL. So would the the front trunk of the super have to cut or altered to make it fit? If yes would there be a way to alter the unit to minmize or eliminate any trunk intrusion.

No, no cutting on the body, but I realized that the super doesn't have the space between the pan and the body to slip the suspension into like the standard, so there would have to be an additional plate built like on the rear of mine that made it split. I really think for a super I would just redesign the whole mounting system, I think it would be easier and probably end up being better than the standard one.

Ya think maybe it's bent? It finally would not self-heal and just kept draining coolant, so a new one is now ordered up that is about an inch shorter top/bottom and about 3 inches wider to maintain the same surface area.
  The right hand fan is totally crushed, so I've got a new one to replace that one. I'm kinda sad that the new radiator won't fit the fans so nicely, they're going to hang over the top and bottom slightly.

   She went to the paint shop tonight! Still needs to be blocked, sealed, painted, color sanded, and polished. Seems like a lot but it's been moving along pretty well. The wheels however are done, Jazz Blue VW paint, it looks different in different light, but the camera does not do it justice!   Jason
