ALL the beetles need woik....believe me....I own three.

"Progress" is not always logical. Look at what is going on in our country. Just, of course, an example.

How horrible. Ya, do as the "dyke" sez in #10 above. I hate to see this happen.....but, body panels are my bread and butter................................

He only writes....no photos..........

On much SMALLER rust areas, I have used Rust-bullit from Summit racing. The stuff solidified the rust and stopped advancement. But, in surface area.....it is apples and bananas compared to your carnage. Let it keep going and put a fake dinosaur in the back seat and pretend you are Fred...

Better camera AND blindfolded wiss several beers in his gutt.. THAT I wanna see.

THAT'S not structural? Really? If not, then how much farther up in there IS structural? I'm in the process of throwing away a car with far less rot.

Buy her some walking shoes and smile when you present them to her.

I never regret taking the time to thoroughly flush ALL the old brake fluid out. I rarely need to replace calipers.

Clutch release bearing.....no pilot. Gunna have to land it yourself.

No, ts is correct. Most machine shops will bore alh engines and the old 1.6 diesels to .003 pretty-much every time......unless you stand there with a 12 gauge against their temple. Young guys.....side-ways ball caps, etc. I take heads from my employer/Ford dealership for drop-off repair. I get...

The block must ONLY be bored to VERY specific tolerances or it is like shooting yourself in the leg. Most machine shops (I cringe just saying the words!) will not bore to such tight piston clearance. Pwaise dee Laurd that my local intelligent guys are still in business.....but, they are getting...

Well then.....hire Mr. How. I believe he is the cousin of the famed Mr. Who. But, that is only what I have been told.

Did you lay out the lifters (were they new or old?) upside down (and allow them to stay in that position) for a good while prior to assembly? That would be with the working face down. Some "mechanics" argue this is not necessary. I always do it and I never have any problem such as you have allowed.

In the past here, there have been several threads regarding this topic. $7800 average price? Pinocchio that.

The myth that the alh engine is indestructible is a retarded myth. Yes, they are quite durable if comprehensively taken care of. But, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Just like the older 1.6 diesels, they wear their exhaust guides and etch their exhaust seats more than gasoline...

Naw....go buy some BRAND NEW vehicle and make payments. I work at a dealership. It will be wonderful to see you after the sale.

I've heard and HAD sump damage with "normal" suspension. I can't imagine having any stupid desire to do such. My 1.5 cents.

A whole bunch of mediocre mares is always better than one big stallion.
