You are right Jason, but this picture was taken half way the modification. The modification was made by The Bug Box in Germany and they do know how to finish it too:



Just have a look at the whole project here (in German, but the pics will tell the story).

This is how I did mount my 914 gearbox in my splitbus, with parts of Martin from bugat5speed.



My complete project is now also available in English, here
