hey volks,

well, i've tried to sell my '85 westy at least twice in the past year, and
always end up not being able to do it. i love what it does but am completely
frustrated how it does it. my two big gripes and the typical, power and fuel
consumption. i've actually looked for a new vehicle to replace it, but can't
find one. i owned a eurovan camper (winnie) for about a year but it too got
bad gas mileage, tho' it did have plenty of power. i can no longer afford
one anyway, so...

so what have some of you done to address this? i've heard of subaru engine
conversions and such. has anyone actually done this and been driving for
awhile with one? power? mpg? also, any other conversions out there. i would
certainly have to hire someone to do it as i don't have the time or
inclination. i'm in socal (la) if anyone knows of anyone who does this type
of thing.

any input appreciated!

thanks,

tony
