I am enjoyed your series. I have a 74 standard bug that I chopped. But I had all the same repairs to do.

74 & maybe 75 are my favorite year bug. I had a 75 that was an insurance yard winning bid had to have the front cut off and replacement front cutting at the
windshield post. I never got the windshield space exactly but i drove it a few years . took of the fuel injection put on Webers carbs Didn't like the stick automatic
but wish I still had it.

These was surrely made to easy change cyl1 sparkplug. usualy, we does this on the two side to work on carb setup when they're carb like IDF or IDA, it's more simple. But here, it was prety badly made.
I see you put some paper to protect your windows, good job.

We just made little doors in my dad’s engine bay on his 71 for spark plug changes. I show the little door we made in a video coming up !!
