the crusher, had pop out windows worth more then metal weight. It was cut inhalf 15 or so yrs ago and seemed to be in nice shape, its some what of a shame.

Hi Wayne Sounds like you have the same problem I have with my 76. While I am not going to do a permanent fix on mine (just por15 and fiberglass) I have repaired this on a friends car. First you need to find a donor car that you can cut the pannels out of. Use a sawsall or something to get them out and cut them bigger than what you need. This way you (or your
body man) can cut them to size with a...

I am not sure about the '73 but

I've never heard of a gas fired heater in any other car... they may have been in Europe?? Hopefully someone on here will be able to fill you in... it will be -2C tonight and in the morning......

While the t4 engine was used in the 914 and I think the 912, it is really just a VW engine. As far as mixing and matching Porsche to Bug... I think it's just like the t4 engine, it'll fit... with some work and some more money than what it would cost if you just stayed with upgraded VW components. While I can say that if you put a 911/930 Porsche up on a lift and a
Super Beetle up on one right ...

Going by pic#2 what you have is a late model single side case transmission. It is not what was originally installed in your car.

The clutch cover plate that you have is incorrect for this...
