WBX (2.1 Kombi engine), with radiator on top

Came across this picture. Must say, i'm not a watercooled guy at all, but this guy has an interesting idea. He taps all four corners of the heads for better waterflow. System is self-bleeding, as hot water and air-bubbles rises to the top. Nicely thought out.
I would change the fan from a suck-through to a blow-through, and let the used hot air exit over the transaxle.

Wow, this is BRILLIANT!
Any other pictures, or even the website/thread where this machine was built?

Now that is one of the best ideas for a radiator I have ever seen. Spray the cowling black and most people will think it is a Type 1 engine if they open the engine lid.
