Hello all
one of my crazy idea's (again)
Most engine swaps - scooby - etc seem to use the bug tranny and an adapter plate of some kind.
I was thinking, could you not take the front end - engine, tranny, shafts, wheel/strut set up - out of a front wheel drive car, and graft it into the back of a bug ? just lock off the steering.
There is lots of room between the back seat and deck lid !
Then you could buy a rear end damaged little sporty 2 door quite cheap.
