Sometimes things happen that can't be easily explained. Such is the case of Bob Snively's attraction to the Subaru 360. This will be a fun project for daily commuting and once completed, will showcase many of the automotive related services offered by Bob's shop.
Here it is in all its glory. With the front sheet metal, front and rear brakes, and the power unit all being removed and sitting on four jack stands.

This is the front suspension removed from the car and placed on a shop cart. It has a rather unusual centrally-mounted mono coil spring and torsion arm suspension. Steering is accomplished through a small rack unit mounted forward of the torsion bar. Plans will include completely rebuilding these units to assure proper functioning of the system once reinstalled.
