hey peeps
is there an easy way to pull off heater boxers (later style) on a type 3 engine while the engine is in the car or should i just pull the engine out and do it?
cheers

hey uncle brian
the fasty is goin along steady all the rust is cut out and been replaced! me dad and gav shaped them all (sill section etc) and welded em in just doing some rust preventative stuff and the heater boxers are rusted out where it joins the extractors!
