using expanding foam to fill huge holes with a skim of bog over the top!
using silicone to fill a hole then bogging over the top.

So, using bog to fill holes and covering it with.....more bog is ok? As long as you sell the car before the bog cracks or falls out
Seriously though, the last crash repair I did on a little suzuki sierra I owned a few years back (car vs kangaroo at 80kph), I was expecting to use a
lot more bog than I did, bought a 1kg can but ended up using about a tablespoon of the stuff, and most of that probably got sanded off anyway. A
combination of hammers and dollies, sledgehammers on the driveway and pulling it back into shape using chains connected between the panel and the
carport (chuck her in low range reverse and let it rip half a dozen times) and apparently you can do it without much filling at all.

Cutting a hole in the tunnel to change the clutch cable weakens the major structual part of your car, put the clutch cable on as vw intended. i have
done it that way for years with out problems.

DON'T put sealant on push rod tube seals , they are made to move around with the ever expanding and retracting movement of an aircooled motor , so
all they need is a smear of high temp grease , oh and don't bother using the shitty red push rod tube seals that come in most kits , use only the
white silicon seals and you'll have many leak free miles .
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

Don't give up your long weekend to chase a barn find spare parts haul.
Only to have the door opened on a pile of scrap metal.
(sigh)
Still, we would have kicked ourselves if we didn't go.
And probably would do it again, given the chance.
You never know......
