Well i'm gonna be starting my build soon ! i have the adapter plate on order!
should be here in a week or so? but here's a pic. of my old variant i have owned it since '86 ! i really haven't driven this car much since graduating high school in '87! been sitting in the garage that long except for a few car shows! but i think this would be so much funner with a turbo diesel motor!
well i'm gonna try and document my build as i go! so stay tuned!
thats me and my red caddy in the back round! red caddy has a G60
corrado motor in it now!

thank's Vince,
yes a kennedy adapter plate! i'm gonna try and make it totally look like a water cooled motor is not noticeable by the out side! i'm gonna try and put the radiators in behind the rear fenders air intake duct ! one radiator on each side with slim fans to pull the air! thats my idea so far!

You may have to do like they did for the Bugatti Veryon and have 10 radiators all over the car. Seriously you other possible option is to mount one where some people put the oil cooler on them- above the transmission with a fan and thermostat. Don't know if there's enough room on a type 3 though.Or get the front valance from a super beetle and graft it under the front bumper and mount a rad there.
