I think there are something like 7 bolts that secure it, but if you have the body off then you've already removed 2 of them. If the tranny is still in the subframe then you also need to disconnect the shift coupling. I'd be tempted to leave the front and rear wheels on it to make it a roller, but if you already have these off then I'd certainly pull the subframe, too. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
