22) Planning for the trunk

So the trunk will no doubt be a bit different on this Beetle. First of all since this will be a water cooled car now (I know, the purists are cringing) I will be placing the radiator in the spare tire wheel well. This shot is where I'm thinking about putting the spare tire. I'll make a nice sturdy bracket / brace for it. I'm also on the prowl for a lighter Porsche collapsible spare. This will give me more room to work with. I think I can say that I'm going to give up any trunk space here. Next I'll show you what I'm thinking for my radiator!
