Just wondering: for a Bug conversion, is it practical to ditch the original transaxle and use an entire
electric motor-transaxle unit from a donor car? I guess a bunch of welding, etc, would be needed.
I have a Triumph Spitfire (which also has swing axles) that I imagine I might someday convert to electric.
I think it would be cooler to get rid of the original transmission, driveshaft, and diff, but it would require a
major redesign of the rear suspension, because there would be no more room for the transverse leaf spring.
