    The Mexicans (or was it the Brazilians ?) did it ex works for a while ...with the ugly plastic radiator grille at the front.

    Have heard about some conversions in the UK where the radiators were hidden round the back/under the vehicle somewhere. Seen pictures too ...but can't for the life of me remember where.

    Personally I think the type 2 (especially an early one) should only be aircold powered, anything else is sacriledge

    Likewise I've heard of it being done with an early Golf engine. Never seen one before - so if you do decide to pursue it please keep us informed :P
