i have a notchback that is that way, but with t1 rear brakes (PO mod) and there are some issues he didn't address.
1) if you run short axles with the bug rear brakes you need a brake bias valve installed!!! i found out the hard way when the fronts locked up on a wet roadway. t3 rear brakes are BIGGER, so the bug brakes unbalance the car's ability to stop under control.
2) the brake lines for the bug rear end are shaped different, so you will need a tubing bender to reroute them.
remember, this is only for if you do a bug axle/tranny swap w/ bug brakes.
