I welded gussets into the corners of the tower braces, connecting it fully into the existing rear shelf. Taking advantage of the existing metal, I was able to maximize the stiffness of the rear end while adding minimal additional steel/weight.
I also welded all the way across the top of the tower brace
I added a tubular diagonal connecting the two rear floor crossmembers to add a bit of stiffness toward the rear of the car without interfering with the fuel cell

Heavy rains! I don't normally pass a river on my way to the garage
I wanted a quiet exhaust, and the budget is already running thin, so I decided to use the stock muffler. This also gives me flexibility when choosing a future muffler; anything that fits a stock jetta! I made some mountings to weld into the chassis for the hangers.
I got some of the parts for the custom fillerneck.
Tygon tubing for the flexible coupler between the tank and neck... nicely packaged
This is all 6061 Aluminum
The McMaster-Carr supply company is beyond badass.
I decided to cut out the stock fuel ports in the tank, which I wouldn't be using anyway
And made a filler plate
This is my CNC mill
Nice build! Great photos and detail ????
