next step in my restoration process is rebuilding the complete rear end. some one cut it off. i reckon he wanted to build a baja. I bought a rear apron and the left and right bumper mounts with some extra metal.

Now I need some measurements to get the angle right for example from the last guard mounting to the corner where the engine bay support metal connects to the rear firewall.

the more measurements the better. Or maybe someone has a guide or link??

What kind of bug? Are they all the same? Happy to let you measure up my 71 super if youre in Melbourne.

its a 1967 and i'm in brissie

ok here is a picture. The red line is the measurement i need and the green line shows where mine was cut. any ideas how the get the new panel on in the right angle?

Bolt the guards on will be a good start... it'll get you pretty close.

Hell... even having the engine lid on will help...

ok put the guards on but there is still plenty of play. even with the engine lid on you can move the end almost 5cm up or down and it still looks ok. my concern is that the rear apron will be to close to the engine.

Have a read of this thread:

The guy did a full De-Baja reversal restoration

easier for him he had the clip of a donor car. i just have some aftermarket panels...
