I was offered an Audi 5 complete conversion kit by Shelleys VW in Port Elizabeth, South Africa in June 1999. Quote: "What we can offer is to send you a complete kit with 5 cylinder Audi motor, 5 speed gearbox and complete electric loom...The price involved is approximately R22 000.00 and the shipping has been estimated at approximately R2 000.00" (to New Zealand). Contact: shellven@mweb.co.za The Rand is worth appx $0.15US.
