Finally did some work on VWrankenstein again. Started working on the upper Shock mounts Took out the rubber, shortend the the Porsche mount and made a plate to close the underside of the Porsche mount. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123928.jpg) Test fit the bearing Busch ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123929.jpg) Underplate fits like a glove. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123927.jpg) After some welding and grinding, I fitted the bearing. Looks pretty original. This bearing fits the Golf1 shocks perfectly ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123931.jpg) Bottomview ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123926.jpg) Paul.

Today again found some time for VWrankenstein. To make sure there was enough space for wheel movement I bought Golf1 shocks. The Golf1 shock are about 5,5cm shorter. Here's the difference. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123961.jpg) Now the struts had to be shortend too. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123962.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123963.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123964.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123965.jpg) And again some trail fit. (I used the wrong (too big) wheels) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/123966.jpg) Paul.

I know your not finished yet Paul but I'd be looking to tack some strengthening webb's to those towers , as I'm not sure the shape of the inner is quite up to the potential extra pounding from the shock tops ![Undecided](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Looking good though bud ![Cool](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Yep, the cage will run from under the dash to the top mounts and will end in the spare wheel well, on the A-arm front mounts. from top to top will be a removeble brace.

The horn bracket had to move, no suprise what was under there. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124122.jpg) So a little repair was needed. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124121.jpg) The right front suspension is ready (for now), so it's time to start doing it all again on the left side. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124119.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124120.jpg) Paul.

Change of plans. I wasn't happy with the A-arm mounts I made in the spare wheel well, so I took out the grinder and started all over again. No way back now. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124298.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124300.jpg) Made a new spare wheel well bottom. I will make a lower part in the middle for the battery. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124301.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124296.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124297.jpg) Paul.

Today I copied the right A-arm mount to the left. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124493.jpg) Now it's time to weld it, grind it and weld it in place. Paul.

Time to close the sides of the spare wheel well (inner wings) Made a new sheet metal piece and welded it in place. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124902.jpg) All nice again ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124904.jpg) Fitted the left A-arm so that I can start on the upper mount. Also tried the Porsche skitplate. It's a small piece to protect the front of the torsiontube. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124905.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124907.jpg) Next step; change the front strut again. Now I will weld the top piece of a golf strut to the Porsche strut. This way the golf shocks will axially fit ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124908.jpg) Paul.

On the left side the hood releasecable has to move ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124955.jpg) The hood releasecable will run on the front of the topmount, you can also see the top of the shock coming through the innerwing. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124956.jpg) Starting to look like where getting there. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124954.jpg) Paul.
