With the VW bug’s main front suspension members in place, it is now time to refocus on the rear. I have to develop a means to bolt down and remove the MR2 rear struts. I drilled out a large hex head socket to be able to insert a screw driver to keep the strut from turning while tightening the nut. Once I finish mounting the rear strut cross-link to the frame I can get a rolling chassis.

The VW bug’s front suspension members have now been tack welded into place and everything is aligned perfectly. I will need to finish welding everything before I can put the springs back on. Once the rear suspension has been located I can work towards a rolling chassis.
