Hi Guys,

I am that "mysterious" German who did the conversion. I did it in 1998 with the 12Valves Audi V6 (174hp). The photo is taken from my homepage http://kfz.freepage.de/rfeussner The page is also mirrored on volksweb/relitech.

In 2000 I upgraded to the new 193hp 30Valves V6. This can bee seen on www.vwbus-online.de/feussner

Finaly, I finished the last conversion, another 193hp 30V with its 5speed auto gearbox (tiptronic version) in my friend crewcab. This can be seen (without technical detail photos yet) on www.vwbus-online.de/feussner/mittelmotor.htm The crewcab version is a mid-engined car because of the use of the Audi transmission.

No, I am no Professional, I did all these things as hobby!

Last but not least I engineered a 4disc brake system with only stock VW/Audi parts (rotors, calipers etc.), www.vwbus-online.de/feussner/bremse.html . The setup is finished now, but the photos were taken during raw-status development. You can see a bit of the finished brakes on the mid-engine page. I am selling this kit for 1960Euro here in Germany. I have no clue about trading with the U.S./canada, but would happily get in conntact with, perhaps, David Marshall?

Raimund
