    6G72 VW Beetle

    So I've been thinking of saving up some money an buying an old school Beetle because I think they are pretty cool. But if I bought one I would want to drop a new engine in it an make it a sleeper.. I was searching google to get an idea of whats been done an i stumbled on this, Sleepers, Creepers: VW Beetle GTO - Yes, it's Another Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Engine Swap - Carscoop That thing is crazzy, now if only it was AWD

    That's very cool. Should handle, and hook-up, really well. Dunno if I could stand that much lifter tick right behind my head though, lol.

    I have to show this to my brother and law. He is a big time Bug guy and we go to some of the shows/meets to party with them. Pretty fun time really.

    bad-ass! although to be honest, i think the TVR4 is probably the coolest cross-platform transplant i've seen a 6g in.

    I saw a 425 Olds FWD Toronado swapped into the rear of a 912 years ago... The guy cut up an bunch of old luggage to make it look like it was stacked in the back seat area. Made an awesome incognito engine cover...
