Create VW Bug front lower control arm mounts #122
Posted on July 10th, 2009 by Tim in VW Beetle Turbo Build
With the VW bug's front frame nose piece in place, the next step is to create the mounting brackets/tabs for the front lower control arms. I will need to reinstall the main frame rails to line everything up.

I'm rebuilding a 1974 Super Beetle. While not quite this radical, I want to beef up the control arm mounts due to the 17 x 7 Porsche wheels I will be running. Nobody seems to have any creative solutions, and nobody even seems to offer stock replacements! This looks like a great solution.
