This is an awesome rebuild. I have had five Beetles in the last 40 years, ranging from a 1968 through to a 1972 and I wish I had an engine like this in just one of them. I rebuilt the ‘68, but back in the late 80’s these bolt on parts weren’t available. Sounds so good too! Well done…I miss my Beetles really badly now 😥

Dear Reader, I can see a bright future for Mr. CT, now his skills have grown in all directions. If he want's to, he can become a local garage for all classic VW cars (or German cars), and offer all customers a small discount if they agree to let him make video's about the proces. It would give him an enormous variety of classic cars to tinker with (as much simultaneously as can be managed), and it would give him a source for many new video's, and a road of discoveries. Why? Because he's good at tinkering and at making video's. Well done, Sir. With Kind Regards, Michel F. van den Brun Dutch pedestrian

what I used to do when installing the throw out bearing was to take a channel lock pliers and put the clip against the bottom right (starter side) arm and using the water pump plier grab the top of the clip and have that in the jaws closest to the interlocking jaw and the tip of the pliers down by the bottom of the arm where the opened end of the clip is visible and rotate the handle of the pliers clockwise and the clip will roll over the bottom end of the support arm. Works great and only one person. Learned this from a German mechanic who worked back in Germany in the factory. One other thing. I used to put some grease on the end of the trans input shaft to help the clutch friction plate mate more easily.

I'm impressed of your build so far, the body still needs a lot of work, but this is a major waypoint to success. If you can drive it to finish, it will be a pretty valuable mean machine. You also learned a lot and put your skills to practice, anyway dont' get just carried away and remember rusty, the dragon and others are waitihg for you. After the first success experience, it will be easier down the road. Be proud of your work, cheers and keep going! 👍

Don’t forget to install the ground strap at the nose of the transaxle as well as the rubber snubbers on the front beam and the plastic bushing in the chassis for the shift rod. Now is the perfect time without the body on. We’re getting there!!! 😉💪👏

@@CTmoog Have you got the correct dimension fuel line or is it too big? Afaik the clamp keeps the line from slipping off over the bump on the hose connection but should not really compress the line much to provide a seal. Or maybe you have a pump for use with fuel injection and it has too much pressure for the hose clamp connections.

Hey Maverick, the 65 beetle body has too many rust holes on all the panels. The hood, deck lid, front and rear fenders everything would have to be replaced.
