Flush out and mount the power steering pump #379

With the fuel system plumbed up, I can now focus on the power steering. The MR2 comes with an electric power steering pump. To insure that my rebuilt steering rack will not have any problems I need to clear out all debris in both the steering pump and the reservoir. I ran fluid through the pump a few times to clean it out. All I have to do now is get the feed line crimped at the hydraulic shop.

Start plumbing the coolant tubes #364

The radiator will be in the front nose of the VW bug. I need to run coolant tubes from the rear to the front. I will be using 1.25″ aluminum tubing for this. After I get the tubing mounted to the frame I will remove it to apply the heat shielding.

Finish e-brake install steering rack & rear brake line #363

The e-brakes have now been cabled up and I got my new rebuilt steering rack in. I have installed the steering rack and it works very good. I have a lot to do before I can put the VW bug body back on.

Rolling painted frame starting e-brakes #362

I now have a painted rolling chassis. It indeed looks a whole lot better with paint. The now slow and steady march to assembly starts with the parking brakes. I have to shorten the cables so I cut them and will fray and soldier the ends to the correct length.

Finish priming the custom VW bug chassis #360

Finally paint. I can finally put paint to frame. This has been a long time coming. I hope I didn’t forget anything. The primer is Eastwood’s rust encapsulator to insure that the frame will not rust. The primer has been forced, as best I could, into all the cracks and crevices. I will now need to paint it with Eastwood’s heavy duty chassis paint.
