That picture of the standard RSI doesn,t do justice to how much wider they are to a normal beetle. Got another picture

Here is the donor S3 car we used for the rear 4wd floor section. I also used the suspension for mocking up the RSI. I've got brand new suspension to go in after the car is fully sorted.
You can see the S3 was pretty stuffed so I had to replace the RH rear chassis rail.

Looks an awful lot like DJ Risk's old S3, complete with tree imprint.

I cut the rear floor section out of the S3. You can see the damage to the right hand side was fairly significant. The replacement chassis rail section was about $900
