Get me some detail shots of the engine and I can tell you what it was frankenstein ed together with. Specifically intake runner, carb/s, distributor, and the number stamped on the case halves will be the easiest source of ID. Generator too while you're at it. Hell, anything that's still Volkswagen on that car I can point you in the right direction, a picture of the fuse block with wiring colors etc. Also with the body gone I'm sure you know the frame number on the back of the tunnel.

I'm almost entirely positive that's a 6V stock 1200 engine. Affectionately known in the community as the '40 horse.'

The Bradley is sitting on at least a 1968 pan, it's 4 lug. If it's a swing axle 4 lug, it's a '68 standard manual (68 autistic got IRS, and was standardized across all bugs Standard and Super from '69 on). Get me pics of the bug parts in there and I can narrow it down further. Whatever year it is, it's definitely a standard because the Bradley doesn't fit on a Super pan. If you can't find the chassis number on the tunnel, get pics of the motor and heater flap knobs and seat belt latches since the stock seats are gone.

So basically Nate Falls, this is the curious position you now find yourself in. Nobody truly knows if they have it inside them to become one of history's greats. Nobody truly knows what path to choose, whether it be better to shine bright and beautiful, an incandescent ball of fire ripping through the atmosphere on a course to create such an impact on every single life watching your journey that 65 million years later we still know about it. Or whether it is better to sit back in that chair, dim the lights down, and for the next thirty years of your life try to convince your best friends Jack and Jim that you made the responsible choice. It will never sit well every time you lose that argument to an empty glass bottle.

It's totally up to you where this story ends.

The silence in this thread had better be because that thing has its ovipositor jammed so far down your throat preparing your fleshy host body for its brood that your pubes have turned into horsehair

Indiana cast his eyes across the wind swept walls of the cavern, noting the hundreds, no, thousands of tool boxes filling every available space. Hand chiseled into place, delicately fitted, the somber silence oppressive in its hollow emptiness. Chests of all sizes, ten and twenty feet long, polished tops. Drawers filled with glittering chrome and matte black finish, special tools of all make and size.

His eyes settle on a battered bio hazard orange roll cart towards the back. The drawer handles with epoxied box cutter blades, the thin legs rusted with age. On its top, a crudely painted symbol of the people's car, the VW inside a cogged wheel motif not used in centuries. Three words surround the glyph, Schmerz Macht Frei.

"That's it," he declares. "That's the cart of a masochist."

Someone has suggested to me that the quickest way to rectify the floppy poo poo body pan on the vw would be to just install a body lift kit on the pan. Conform/deny that this is a possibility if time gets short?

I'm totes fine with using free bedframes from craigslist as frame reinforcements for budget reasons, but, just looking at my options.

I just want to confirm here that you did in fact go out to the.....vehicle...in question, looked at it in person with your own two eyes, then asked for advice on which method of repair would be correct to use, am I following it correctly?

God drat, I can almost remember what that blend of thought and emotion feels like.

If you get thst thing started you're going to feel like you're sitting on 2,000 horsepower of nitro boosted war machine, and I give you about a five minute head start before the war party catches up :v:

This is amazing to me for the simple fact you brought this beast into a mechanic. Did you give him any warning of what he was in for? I can't imagine how that conversation went.

The next thing you should do bring it to various valet services.

Typically it's the sound of what could be mistaken as one single loud firecracker set off in the parts room followed by a heavy muffled thud and silence
