Karl,

     Please stop toying with us.......it's too cruel. Already I'm thinking of
jumping
in my van and driving to your shop waving my chequebook while multiplying
unknown amounts
of USD by 1.6 to arrive at the figure of too many canadian dollars for me to
spend right now....

Can you give us a ballpark number??

Cheers,

</SNIP>OK, who is ready for one? I just spoke with the supplier, and the first
kit
is being readied for shipment, at an very reasonable price. This kit will
include all that is needed, including:

New 2.6 liter Audi 5-cylinder engien
New 5-speed transmission
All mountings, wiring harness, hoses, belts, exhaust complete, raised engine
cover deck, virtually all parts needed to transform your 2WD Vanagon into
the SA powerhouse. This kit differs greatly from the widely know conversion
done in CA in that it consists of all factory SA parts known to fit and to
work properly. It is not CA smogged, so you are on your own there. Anyone?
If you are interested, conact me and we can discuss pricing, depending on
whether you need installation or just the kit. This first kit to be released
will be discounted deeply so as to get one into the hands of the consumer
for demonstration.
