That is some serious patina! Planning to preserve it or restore or ??? Looking forward to hearing/seeing what you do with it.

KLM speedo and the hood with an early prop but the hood still has the hinges that except the springs. Lots of little oddities about this car that I will share along the way.
The mileage is supposedly accurate and has not turned over. I was told the motor runs. I got this car from a friend that purchased it from the Original owner and he told me he is sending me records that indicate this is in fact the original miles on the car. The US born gentleman bought it brand new in Germany when he was stationed there. When he returned to the US he brought the Kar with him.

I typically consider taking a motor out to be easy but I really did struggle with this one. I was by myself and both top motor mount nuts wanted to spin so I had to get creative to stop that from happening. I also struggled with the heater tube coupler on the driver side ,it was stopping me from coming all the way out to be able to drop the motor. The breast tin was still attached by the downdraft tube so it was giving me grief as well. The heads at the muffler have this very unusual adapter/riser to the muffler, I feel like it’s safe to say that had something to do with the muffler hitting the apron so soon. It took some blood sweat and tears but eventually I got it out with causing any new* noticeable damage, to the car that is. lol

That's the first time I have seen a VW engine give the mechanic the finger!
That "air bag lift" is brilliant. Compact and portable. 
The scratches on your arm are the price you pay for working on a VW.
I paid a high price once installing the dashboard defrost tube.
