I finally managed to find a couple of hours to work on the beetle. The plan was to put the rear of the car onto the dollies to make it mobile-ish.
The first step was to put the wheels back on. So I popped on the driver's side drum and wheel. It was very nice to see the wheel spinning free for the first time in 27 years! I then put the wheel back onto the, still seized, passenger side drum.
All that remainded was to jack the car a little higher and slide the dollies in. It was at this point I discovered that my aged trolley jack didn't go high enough. So I spent the next thirty minutes putting together a 3" platform for the jack to sit on. However I didn't get a chance to test it out because rain stopped proceedings.
