I've seen baywindows w/ rads mounted where the decklid would be, in an H2O
conversion (chevy,or whatever). gotta have some good fans, running 24/7 when
youre drivin, tho..

talk to Helmut Ziedler, he put an audi 5 banger in his '80 Vgon.  in a Vgon,
its much easier to put the rad in the front, where it is on the H2O models,
not in the back.
put it in the front using donor stuff from a H2O Vgon, and its pretty much a
"bolt on"...
