Well, Actually I have several. I just re-did the fuel lines on the gas
tank, not the most fun job. I plan on re-tinting but lack the expertise to
do a good job myself. Just finished re-upholstering the interior, new
hedliner, walls, etc. Upgraded A/C fom early model to late model style,
installed weekender rear seat and new front seats. Basicly a conversion
from brown vynal to blue velour. Installed custom interior cabinets, one
for a TV ,VCR and microwave and the other for refrigerator and hanging
closet and some storage. the next project is a nice wood veneer on the
dashboard area to match the wood on the cabinets. I have considered the
audi 5 cyl conversion, but it is still $1000 more than converting to an
inline 4. I will probably convert to the inline 4 even though I have 2
running audy 5 cyl cars sitting in front of my house. for some reason, I
cannot justify the nearly $2000 for the audi kit where the inline 4 kit is
around $900.
Maby that is a new debate the list could pick up. Is the amount of
power gained from the 5 cyl conversion worth the extra $1000. Personnaly, I
think not. both engines have almost the same power and the inline 4 is
smaller and less expensive parts.
Does anyone know where I can get a 100 or more amp alernator? the stock
one just dosn't cut it for my van.
