Newbie! VW Golf TDi kammback ideas?

I just found you folks! I spent newly two hours reading many GREAT posts, great stuff here!
I have been thinking of a Kammback for my 02 Golf. It's been stuck in my head for a year now! Great see others are way ahead of me on this. (As usual!) I can't find any threads for a Golf Kammback design. Any help woudl be appreciated.

Welcome Theo, I must admit I have been kicking the idea around for several years myself. You may want to post this question in "aerodynamics". Also check out this thread-

Full boat tail on a Matrix

It's not an easy project to add enough length to a hatchback to make a big difference in aero. Some have done it here and gotten good results though.
