verying and off topic just a little

[Blair]

Jeff,
That's one of the reasons I didn't go for the Suburu
conversion....the Porsch fit
perfectly with at five speed tanny......
Another great conversion is the late model Corvair with a Chevy 350
or a V-6
located in the rear seat area. Totally stock looking from the outside but
a real
sleeper on the highway....
The Jetta conversion is the sweetest, easiest conversion for the
least cash...
