My Nephew that live across the road from me was there when Kenny's boss brough the VW to me.He told the man when I finish with it to bring it to his house and he'll put that head light(light in the back of the VW ) where it belong.(He is a nut too)

I would suspect it will take weeks of soaking in diesel fuel to determine how much of that U-boat engine can be taken apart for salvage of the parts. Fortunately they can all be replaced. Looks like quite a bit of extra labor, to me.
It'll take a fortune in helicoils!

Good luck!
