This pic shows how the trunk lid is skewed, and the bumper top has "puckered". The PO had a really bad paint job done. Note how the trunk seal is toasted by overspray.

Tomorrow Gloria and Louie are coming over for a drop engine party, He says he's rebuilt "several" VW's. We'll just see about that, won't we!

Here's an interior shot of the floor - looks solid. Cool.

I have been defeated, delayed and demoralized. Louie did come and was a big help. Hoses, tubes, wires, relays, etc. have been disconected.
When we sniped the fuel lines I couldn't find a bolt and clamp to "staunch the flow" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
I was running around like a gas soaked chicken with it's head cut off. We finally just decided to drain the tank, the slow way!!
My brain has a short in it. While studying engine drops, I read "CV joint removal tool", I saw clearly "12 point", I understood "star fitting". Somehow it morphed in my brain into Torx. It's not a Torx! A Pipe wrench will not remove them, nor will vice grips, nor hex head. I called NAPA, they had the part. Nan and Gloria drove over to pick it up and they locked the door in her face! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
So we stood there staring, enjoying the sweet aroma of stale gas (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)
More later

Don't forget the funiture dolly. Nice to see your working on your car. I thought you were going to try to unseize the motor, PB blaster style with a hefty push in gear. It's probably better to pull it and work on it that way.

Here are some good links to get you started.

Pelican on the engine pull
http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...engine_drop.htm

Info of type 4 engine, a great website with info from Compression Ratios to Piston/Cylinders, and it shows you what the differance between 1.8 heads 2.0 bus heads, and the covited 2.0 914 heads
http://tunacan.net/t4/

If you keeping the d-jet your going to need to read up on this site too

Good luck, you'll have that baby running in no time

I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't get the engine out, I'm sorry I couldn't post a picture of something that looked like a pile of scrap metal on a furnature dolly that I dragged from my back yard. The nuts above the front engine mounts are a sick joke. Especially the pass side!! A box end wrench won't get in there, nor will a ratchet. I thought the bolt was stripped. I sawed the head off the bolt to find a good bolt and thread and nut.

Unless someone has a strange desire for abuse, I'd recommend hiring this work out. The stench of leaking gas hanging along the floor, the 40 degree temp and not being sure about the engine bolt threads sent me nearly over the edger~~ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif)
But otherwise...I'm OK! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
