Wouldn't it be easier to just pull the motor?

Ahh. That was back in the day when engineers designed stuff with the realization that they would at some point have to be either repaired or maintained. LOL

lol the old VW was an odd machine. We had one that was an autoshift which was rare in the US.

One morning the car would not go into reverse. Had it towed to the local VW place and it turned out to be a fuse.

Love old bugs. You don't "Drop a motor" in it, you drop it out of it.
Jack the car up to take motor out from underneath :rofl
Not hard to do at all, just funny in manner of doing it.
They always needed valve jobs. A great heater/defroster :rolleyes: (You only caught
heat that came off of motor).
Used to start old bugs with small screwdriver.
With the older bugs that have ignition on console,
you can start car with anything that will fit in key slot. :rofl                                                             
You can drive them ANYWHERE :rofl We used to take them through fields,
mud, hills, woods. And when you get stuck, it's nothing to pull/push you out.
My youngest Daughter Sam (20), has a Purple 99 Bug. It's 100% her.
I saw it, had to buy it for her. She's had it for about 2 years                                                                                                                               
Nice car but expensive for repairs.
                                                                                                                             :cheers: Oz

The new bug holds nothing on the old bug.

They sure seemed to be popular for awhile.

One of my brothers has had numerous VWs over the years.  I remember him rebuilding the engine on his first bug.  Jacked it up and dropped the engine out of it.  Picked it up and carried it to the workbench.  Rebuilt it.  Then carried it back to the car and put it back together.

All on a Saturday afternoon.  He drove the car to pick up his girl friend that evening.

Was amazing how much aftermarket performance parts were available too. I fell over the first time I saw a bug run 10's at the track.

My brother also had a Porsche 914 for a few years.  It was basically a souped up VW.  It was originally fuel injected, but the system was shot when he bought it.  So he pulled all the injectors and welded the ports closed.  I forget what all he had to do, but in the end he put a progressive carb on it.  It was a blast to drive.  It sat so low and was fairly wide, the thing would take corners like it was on rails.  

He sold it and bought a right hand drive MG Midget, that was an interesting little car too.
