Sam spends an afternoon getting the mounting point braced on both sides of the shock. This is called a double sheared mount, where both sides of the shock are supported and strong.

Floor pans are one of the biggest rust issues with any old Beetle and Nate's 1972 Beetle was not an exception. Follow along as Sam and Nathan get to work replacing them.
Sam & Nate get stock replacement Bilstein shocks installed in the rear of Nate's 1972 VW Baja Bug.
Sam & Nate continue work on this 1972 Baja Bug. This rear subframe will help support the rear of the chassis and will give the "show cage" a place to tie in to the chassis.
Sam & Nate are back at work on the rear trailing arms. They get the arms and the spring plates set up to clear the torsion housing for more suspension travel.
