Yeah Dylan it's a bit mute in here but, I think it might be due to preoccupation with the holidayz craze.
Do you have much work space to deal with your bug? If space is available it's not that hard to yank the beetle body off. Grab some lumber and whip up a couple A frames braced to each other and a couple heavy duty ratchet straps should do the job. Strip off as much weight as possible 1st. i.e. interior, eng. lid, hood, fuel tank etc. and then you can get to the floor pan and engine much easier. Do you know anyone with a buzz box (mig welder) you could borrow or better yet someone who welds to go with it?
