All of the VW bug frame bracing plates have now been tacked on. Both the front and the rear have the angle braces for strength and to keep everything square. I will be turning the frame over to finish all the welding soon.

It’s been a long time since I added some pics, but I am finally getting around to it. MR2 VW bug pics page 5

I am creating bracing plates for the front of the VW bug frame just like on the rear of the frame. There will be eight of these strengthening plates in the front. Each plate will wrap from one frame member to the next and will be welded on both sides to increase the bond.

Now with the VW bug strut bracing in place , I can continue with all of the rear frame bracing to give it strength and to keep everything square. I am also cutting out the caps for the main rail ends.
