I posted on the List a few weeks ago about an article in the latest edition of
European Car magazine that spotlighted a conversion kit made by Eurospec for
putting a 2.0l in-line cylinder Golf motor into a Vanagon.  Well I called
Eurospec today to talk to them about getting the kit for a customer of mine
who is considering having me do the conversion for him.  I was told to check
out their web site and when I did I saw that they had reprinted the entire
article on thier web site.  If you want to check it out go to my web page at
http://members.aol.com/kenwilfy and there is a link directly to thier site.
It is pretty cool and this kit seems like the best one I have seen so far.
They actually got Hella to custom make a wiring harness specifically for thier
kit.  The kit is also very complete coming with everything you need to mount
the motor (including the motor itself!), the exhuast system, the bracket for
the accessories (A/C, powersteering, etc.), and even the fan belts!  However
right now the kit is not available to do-it-your-selfers.  I think this is
because Eurospec wants to control who is actually doing the conversions.  But
since I am a mechanic they seem to be willing to sell me a kit.
I have changed a few things on my web site as well.
Let me know what you think.
