My route is not always the easy route.
Vwrankenstein's notch will be made of original sheet metal. Even to close the gab, of the shortened firewall, i am using modified original sheet metal. I hope that when it's finished this will give an original look.

Started on the cage part in the sparewheel area. First I made it with plastic pipes.



Then copied it from steel.


Attached to the cage inside.


One down, one to go.

Don't know about the fuel tank yet. I am using a simple hand (hydraulic) pump.
