Nice photos. The engine case reminds me that early engines did not 
have the 6 sealing rings around the 6 main bearing studs, between the 
2 engine cases. For these early engines, VW recommended 
countersinking the RHS case half and installing those O-rings. I can 
probably find the specs somewhere if you want them.

Oh, and is that a piece of my foam on top of the oil cooler? It 
doesn't look like the factory stuff, at least not like what I'm used 
to seeing from '68-on. The late stuff disintegrates, so I replace it 
with poly foam that I bought years ago. Maybe VW used better material 
in the early years.  

Later photos show a light blue '73 square. Do you have any of the 
carpet and vinyl panels from that car? I'm looking for any dark blue 
'73 such pieces for mine.
