Claudia's VW 1303 Restoration - The Chassis
Now I'm start to fit and weld in the new floor pans.
Here are the new pieces.
The pieces are fitted and attached with sheet metal screws. Now we will see how these new floor pans fit to the body. So far so good ! Bottem side looks good as well. The mounting holes line up nice, so this is good to go for welding. There it is all welded in complete. Now applying seam sealer and primer. The bottom side is painted with satin black. And the top is now good to go. Media blasted some parts to be powder coated. Here are the spring plates finish powder coated black satin. I painted the control arms, since they are to large for my oven. Start to assembly of the rear suspension. New bushings for the spring plates. These will need to be adjusted once I see the ride height. Starting to bend the new brake lines. I purchased the finished lines, this way I just had to bend them. Installed the master cylinder and the front brake lines and the line to the rear brakes. The rear wheel cylinders and the brake lines. Here it is, all new brake lines. Brake shoe's installed. And now the drumms. Now I can park the chassis and move to the body work.
