Very nicely done, but not quite a unique idea. The so-called Nordstadt Kafer was a 1303 built in the 70's with a 911 engine in mid-configuration, behind the front seats.

The Nordstadt conversion was more my cup of tea. With a real Porsche engine cooled by air.

Nordstadt did one into a 411 car as well.

Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).
