Getting ready to pull the body off mine! I don't have an engine hoist though.. that seemed handy. I've made a jig out of fence posts to hold it and wheel around the garage lol.
There is so much out there for them I was surprised haha, hoping to fix the engine we have otherwise build up another one. I wouldn’t mind a Subaru swap just all the engineering requirements…
Hey mate, what did you end up doing about that gap on that J mount on the outrigger? I have the same issue with the floor pans i'm about to install on my beetle.
I clamped it down as much as I could, unfortunately it was all I could do the rear mounts near the shocks require a slightly larger rubber spacer now but it all went back on okay..
@@EngineeredToDesign I watched a bunch of other videos last night, and I think that the pans that we have (it looks like we both have the same ones from brazil) have a much longer bit at the back which rests on the bottom bit of J mount bracket instead of the top of it (if that makes sense). I might end up trimming it so that it can sit flush.

Love the Aussie safety boots brother! Great job.
Gotta love them 😂😂
Caro amigo, sou apaixonado por fusca tanto que estou restaurando um 73 em casa. Para mim é uma terapia.
Are you liking the beetle build?
Yes sir. I love building and working on car's, trucks, everything really.
@@reddenley9822 that’s awesome!
The beetle bug is going to be a o sweet
Great video mate, it is fascinating you can just buy replacement pans for these older cars still. What motor are you planning on putting in this?

Worried about the puppy's eyes when your grinding and wire brushing, and welding-???
She has learned to look away..
