An  engine bay fire usually wouldn't require pulling the engine. You 
might  want to take a close look at what got destroyed before you go 
that far.  Most of the things that might need help or replacement are 
accessible from  the topside, so just look at the carbs, fuel pump, 
wiring (really simple  on your '62) and generator.

You're likely to need some replacement  parts. I don't have anything 
from that early, but someone here probably  will, or you can check at 
the Samba. If you're lucky, you may be able to  just clean up things, 
and you might just need some rebuild  kits.




This was my thought too Jim, but it might be a case of not really being  
able to access the front of the engine bay for him. He's not sure at this 
point  how much of the cars wiring got burned in the fire, but it could be that 
the  right side light wires got cooked, along with those on top. Of course 
there's  nothing that says you couldn't build a platform to lay on, that 
extends into the  engine bay (might be easier on the lower back too), to allow 
one to reach the  front wall. You know, something built out of short saw 
horses with a 2ft wide  plank on top. Just an idea.;^) Although with the engine 
out, you could put a  small office chair in there and work comfortably (BTDT 
before). Just getting in  and out is a pain though.
