I can now start reinstalling all of the foot-box gear. I have started with the clutch master cylinder. I am rebuilding both the brake and clutch master cylinders. Everything is coming together now.
With the body and frame merger complete, I can now start the reinstallation of the footbox items. After cleaning and painting the footbox components I have bolted everything back into place. I sealed the box up with silicone and am now ready to reinstall the steering wheel and pedals.
Body and frame are as one. I am reviewing all of the body to frame fasteners. Now I can really start building for good.
I now have the VW bug body completely down on the chassis. The body is held to the frame with 32 fasteners. So far so good.
