How long did it take to get out of the car?  Wow, what a job!
I was wondering what you've paid for the parts you have so far?

I see lots of evidence of folks doing various Rabbit/Jetta/Audi swaps,
and I recall a brutally painful description of a Subaru 2.2 conversion
in the list maybe two years ago, but I haven't seen a wealth of
evidence of successful conversions to the Subaru motor.  It's
a major reason why I'm looking at it with some trepidation, and
leaning towards the GTI/GLI motor.  Are you a courageous-kinda-guy
not daunted by the lack of documentation, or have you found a source
of documentation that seems straight-forward enough?
