Can we design and build a bio-diesel electric hybrid scirocco?

[behrleiii at yahoo.com (Behrle Hubbuch)]

There has to be a donor in a yard out there somewhere by now.  As adept as we are in scavenging the local yards for parts I bet at least one of us could locate one.  There are several approaches to Hybrids.  I think a "Parallel Hybrid" would work best in this case.  It has an infernal combustion engine/tranny up front and an electric powerplant in back kinda like Ansons twin scirocco.

The biodiesel Scirocco part I could handle, but the electric hybrid bit 
would be far too much expense and effort to be practical, unless someone 
has a Prius for parts.
