I had idea while helping a friend do some work on the front end of his car, the car was a 98 Passat 1.8 turbo. I noticed while under this car the transmission was positioned longitudinal and FWD, it also used Porsche 930 CV joints. So I thought huh wonder if that could work for a mid engine buggy, well a tubing bender, alittle money from each weekly check, and about 3 years and this is what I came up with. I picked a 2.8 sohc v6 out of a 1993 Audi and low and behold it bolted right up to the Passat tranny. FOE shocks for the rear, some FOX shocks off a rzr up front, a couple of 930 axles from Tatum, AND SHE FLIES. It sure beats the hell out of my air-cooled buggies.
