Sure there is still a reasonable amount of aftermarket, yet it's mostly provided by suppliers not affiliated with Volkswagen nowadays, and quality of the spares may not be so consistent among different suppliers. Not to mention some very specific parts becoming harder to source, then it might be inviting to look out for some adaptations with modern parts. Once a guy from Santa Catarina told me he did an entire subframe to fit transversely the engine and gearbox out of a 1st-generation Audi A3 into a Beetle.
