The evil twin

Hi I'm new here but after reading some post I figured surely some of you would enjoy this. I got bored one day and decided to see what Craigslist had to offer so I started looking. I first found a great donor car. A 2001 Pontiac Bonneville ssei with the l67 which is a supercharged 3800. So I bought it and had to do something with it. I kept looking and came up with a 98 vw beetle. I have always thought that the engine should have remained in the rear of the bugs. So I set off to do it. After I got it in. I had to replace the weight I removed when I took out the factory vw engine so I thought what better way than to put another 3.8 in the front. I got a wrecked Pontiac grand Prix gtp from a friend which also had the l67. Then I stick it in the front. I then decided it wasn't unique enough. I got on eBay and found a right hand drive beetle front clip. I bout it and am seeking it over as we speak.

I can't get my phone to work with me. I will post pics as soon as I can

theres nothing better then twin engines wrapping out in sync. looking forward to pictures

I like this. And you belong here!

I can help out with a couple pictures. He sent us a few via Facebook. Extremely awesome by the way. I kind of hope it looks just as plain from the outside when it's done.

Just because a rear engine new beetle wasn't odd enough he went dual engine, and then just because that wasn't enough we went with a different make of engine for the new front engine. I like this guy...

Yeah both engines are the same. Also right hand drive

Got almost all the right hand drive swap in today.

Insane, funny, and amazing ! There is a lot of epic goin on lately... Note to self: get a garage...

oh, 2 supercharged 3800s. Even better.

So, twin supercharged w12 rear engined beetle? You're damn close to a veyron, and far cooler.

No look a little closer at the pics. It has a supercharged v6 in the front and a supercharged v6 in the rear. All wheel drive and right hand drive

Why the RHD? Just for giggles or steering mechanism interference on the left side (or something like that)?

Ive always wanted a rhd car and I've never seen a rhd beetle so it's the best of both worlds. I like to be different if you can't tell

Just when I think I've seen it all someone on here pulls off something like this. I love it!

Hey. I'll stay a thread on the svt coupe one day.

You're a brave, strange individual. You'll fit in great here.

here are a few pics. I took it to rod run yesterday in Cynthiana ky. I parked this dusty beetle among (directly in the middle of) polished up show cars and it immediately started drawing attention, it makes me feel great to do something that people will actually want to look at. We brought the kids long to walk around and enjoy the rest f the show but those plans quickly changed into a game of "that guy had a confused face lets see what his guy does" the feeling was amazing and a lot of pride to get to answer peoples questions. after the day was through the biggest difference was the guys noticed the engines and the girls they were with were the ones to notice te right hand drive interior [URL=http://s1161.photobucket.com/user/Ellersvt1/media/rod%20run.png.html][/URL]
