Before painting the bottom of the frame I have a bit more welding and grinding to do. This boring video is basically a frame bottom wrap-up. Getting ready for paint.

Now that I have my mounting locations for the e-brake cable ends, I have welded on the nuts that will hold everything in place. I am constructing two plates that will hold the cable ends in place using the factory indentions to insure that they stay solid.

Now that I have the e-brake mount locations, I am going to weld nuts to the bottom of the frame to hold the e-brake cable mounts. I will also be constructing small ramps to protect the mounts. Small steps to get the final product.

I now have new slide shows on the new “MR2 VW Bug pics page 7” page. MR2 VW bug pics page 7

Now that the frame has been flipped up-side-down again, I will try and get both the front sway bar mounts and the e-brake locations figured out. The sway bar mounts will be bolted to the frame with 3/8″ grade-8 hardware. I will be doing alot of thinking before I can claim that the underside of the frame is complete.

I again have flipped the frame over for some additional work. I will be adding the e-brake cabel mounts as well as the front say bar mounts. Once everything is figured out I will finish all the welding on the bottom and paint it.

I need to flip the frame over to get to all of the underside welding. I am using my shop crane and my jack to lift and flip the frame.

I now have the paneling brackets in place. These brackets will hold down all the internal panels and engine covers and such. I will drill and tap these later when the panels go in.
