Still gettin it hooked up ... a few more shots , I moved the rad , and fuel tank so I had to redo all the line and mounts for those , the fuel tank is still in a temp spot till I get to redoing under the hood area, but got to get everything in and going for now. And yes the motor goes in from underneath

As far as paint .. I am still pondering that leaning towards colbalt blue on the fenders and aprons and silver on the hood over the top to the deck lid , And yes the motor / transaxle is out of a Front Wheel drive El Dorado any where from around 68 till 76 Here is a little video of it fired up

I can tell people are really digging your build! I saw the vid on volksrods, but haven't seen these pics yet. Your bug is wider than I realized seeing it next to that super and just seeing how the car fits between the parking spot lines.
What's the next plan / step?
