It is  alive!!!!!
   It  has  been  since march 17th since i drove  my vanagon.I  have  been
doing a conversion since April 22nd.It took me  that  long to figure out  if
i wanted a wasser leaker again or try my luck at a i-4.It looks so natural
ther now seeing it for the past few months as me and a friend has on and off
worked on it.If  any of you on the list or any of your friends wants to do
this conversion let me  know .I will help  you  out any way that i can.If
you want a complete system i suggest you go to tiico.But  if  you  donot
mind searching out a few parts here and there and visit your local vw dealer
call German warehaus in calf. at 1-800-464-5284 ask  for  cliff steve or
brain.Tell  them  Darrel from North Carolina sent  you.
good  luck
remember to email me  if you are  stuck!
