Ever tried to put a hitch on a old VW Bug?

Has anyone ever tried to put a hitch on an old VW bug(the ones with the enginge in the back). Yeah I know it will be underpowered and there won't be enough brakes but it is the only thing I have? I just wanted to know where you would attach it since it has a pan instead of a frame.

i wouldn't hesitate to try it...not sure were it would attach...i might end up putting 1 on my VW rabbit untill my landcruiser is done

I am just curios because I am going to do it but I wanted to build off of other peoples ideas/attempts. I'm pretty sure I can do it bcuz my dad is a really good fabricator.

Hey trick 450r is your rabbit the dielsel ones that get about a bazillion miles to the gallon?

Thanx! :D ;) is there anything ebay cant do. My dad should be able to get some ideas off of this. I can only see one problem my car has a torsion bar and I think IRS stands for independant rear suspension.
