DO NOT BOTHER! This is a $20k project in the mildest form with only one motor. Your looking at close to a $1000 just in all the custom axles and CVs. I have NO idea how you'd work out the steering, the engine would be sitting around the front bumper, unless you swapped the R&P and then you'd have the motor where your feet would go, and the list goes on and on. If you want a cheap autocrosser, look somewhere else. How about an old turbo Quattro Audi? A bug is just not the way to go for competitive autocrossing, and all wheel drive with 2 motors is just plain ridiculous. Custom all wheel drive HAS been done on a bug, but it involved a new nosecone on the tranny, a prop shaft, and the rear end out of a Nissan or something, along with full custom front end and then of course there is the military AWDs that were done, but those are not easy to get ahold of and would not be usable in a high performance application. Coming from someone doing a crazy custom conversion, please believe me when I tell you this is not a direction you should be going.
