Let's face it people, you've got a few different camps. One that see

I looked at a lot of options for a conversion and money aside I think

1988 Wolfsburg Edition 2.1 WBX (stock)
1987 GL 1.8 Digifant inline-4 (cheap conversion)
1982 GL 1.8 CIS-e inline-4 (even cheaper conversion)
1984 GL 2.2 sub turbo (not so cheap conversion -- head down in shame)
1989 GL (conversion 2.0 I-4 sitting on a pallet)
