As much point as putting a coat of paint on a nova, he wants to do because he can and enjoys it.

Too many critics in this world.

I'd love to just take a mad engine and put it in a tiny car, but i wouldn't be able to, lol. I admire people who can though!

What was that engine out of? Looks like something out of a boat! And I like the look of the modified bulkhead too

What running gear does that beetle use, 4WD would be cool

tbh, whats the point in that 27lt engine getting wacked into the car? it will be slower than the original, will probably shake the car apart, have crap fuel consumption etc etc
its like saying "lets put a spitfire engine into a corsa"....WHY ?!?!?!?!?

however, i do understand the beetle with the scooby engine.....there is performance gain at the end of it

however, two anwsers to your stereotype that everyone who doesnt buy this mag and doesnt fit non-OE engines to their cars are chavs, is because its more hassle than its worth and secondly, because its expensive to do (and usually if you do something that already been done, then it works out alot cheaper).
