Since the VW design has been made from 1937 until almost today the parts are plentiful and relaitvely cheap. Those who have actually built vehicles understand that the most important thing is to not go backwards with constant revisions without a well thought out plan to minimize wasted effort and increase costs. The steering rack will be super cheap and include everything from the steering wheel to the tie rod ends, at a cost of maybe $50.
The VW front axle beam is also good for collision protection deflecting impact away from the passenger compartment. It also is a highly proven design as far as it's use in dune buggies and other applications where severe impacts are encountered. The later ball joint front axles are the best and with a $235 disc brake conversion and rack and pinion steering everything is where I like it.
