VR6 Motor mid-engine mounted...

Hi all, I am currently designing the plans to transplant a 98 GTI VR6 Motor/tranny/etc. into a 69-70 standard beetle. After the initial swap is installed, the turbo & assoc. parts will be installed.

My questions to the guru's are:

Has there been a mid engine vr6 transplanted in a beetle yet? If so, any photos would be of great help...

I am in need of "blueprint" diagrams of 69-70 beetles, side and top views of the floor pan (like that of floor plans of homes) etc. Measurements are a plus as well...

I plan on welding in a custom rear box tube set up integrating subframes, a arms and custom suspension set up, etc.

Any info/pics/diagrams would be a great help... I want to get my ducks in a row, before I go ahead with the project.

please reply to: dave@davidephotos.com w/info/pics etc.

Thanks in Advance,

Dave
