I appreciate not everyone is interested in the following so i have refrained from using bandwidth.
Click HERE to catch up with my progress on my latest project.
Wonder how many men + hours it would take to remove an engine from the Scorpio......

I dont know how familiar you are with the Beetle scene but there are plenty companies out there doing replacement panels which might be a bit easier than fabricating one 
So have you got the 911 Turbo and box ready to slip in there now?? 
P.S. Ive seen teams of four guys remove one of those engines at Beetle shows in just over 4 mins

yes i know about the panels but unfortunately they dont manufacture A pillar to Front OS Wing incorporating windscreen recess 
Seeing as you mention the beetle Scene, found a fab website(www.vwheritage.com) that allows one to see the parts together with prices to order online. A bit like how the FMD has the diagramatic on thier comp screens. Pity FPUK or someone doesnt do that for the Scorp. Maybe when the Scorps 30 odd yrs old eh?
I had read about the Record Breaking Engine change. Its only 4 x 17mm bolts holding on. Removing alone (although with misses so may aswell be alone!) however, one find the engine very heavy!
I shant be bothering with the 911 lol. The 1300 aircooled will be heavy enough on juice!

Don't know how a Scorpio owner of your discernment and taste can waste your time renovating a Beetle, surely the ugliest abomination in the history of car design.
Like comparing Grace Kelly with Margaret Rutherford
