Greetings from Vancouver Island!

I just joined the list and wanted to say hello. My recently purchased vehicle is
a 1988 Vanagon GL, and I am delighted with it so far. I am curious about engine
conversions, and have checked the FastForward web site (they are in Quesnel,
BC, a long day's drive from here) and Tiico (they have a number of reps in the
Vancouver, BC area), as well as a Subaru conversion site (smallcar.com). This
is not something I want to do right away - unless my head gasket gives up the
ghost - but would like to gather info and get a sense of the cost and logistics
of getting it done. If anyone has any info they would like to share that would
be greatly appreciated.

Obligatory newbie question: Are there any instructions out there on how to
remove and replace the stock VW radio? I have a Pioneer CD/MP3 player I'd like
to install and am wondering if I should attempt it myself to go to a car audio
specialist.

Cheers,
