The rollcage is in, only thing left is mounting it :-\


Shall I transform it in to a delivery van or keep it original ?

Rise in the pan behind the drivers seat?

Paul, what's that structure behind the drivers seat? It rises up from the floor/pan.

Hi

Love this thread.

Lucky you found the error with that trans mounting now.

Wouldn't life be so much easier if we didn't do all this stuff to old VWs, but it would be a pretty boring life.

That means sitting on the couch with the misses every day. Better have some gearbox troubles.

Gearbox is in again. It is further inwards so I had to shorten the cage and framehorns.

Because of the higher mounted engine and gearbox, the luggage compartment had to be raised as well. This means that is had to be widened. I wanted to use a donor piece from 1954. Now I found out that even this part of '54 sheet metal is different to a '56 piece. But with a little help of a hammer and knee it starting to fit.

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.
