After assembling the dash support, I need to adjust it a bit to support the MR2 steering column. I need to have the 2×2 angle a bit closer to the front of the VW bug’s nose. I will trim up the side brackets to accomplish this. Using paint I am marking the edges of the side brackets so I can trim them up.

I have decided on the plan to mount the MR2’s steering wheel in the VW bug. I will build a support that is attached from one side of the interior sheetmetal to the other. This support will be made of a piece of 2×2 angle iron and two pieces of 10 gauge flat steel. It will take a little while to get everything in the right position.

The VW bug pedal placement continues. I now have a plywood template to hold both the brake and clutch pedels in place. After a ton of measurments the pedals are very close to their final positions. All in all everything is fitting fairly well.

This is getting fairly tough. The placement of the MR2 pedals and their associated master cylinders is critical. I have to take into account where the pedals with be in the foot-box as well as how all the hardware will clear the existing custom framing. Oh yeah, it also has to fit inside the VW bug’s body shell. Wish me luck.
