Actually, I have a friend here in Durango who owns a very busy shop. He works on anything and is very good. He gets lots of vans and I help him with parts when he needs something fast, for travelers. I don't think he's ever done a conversion, but he is a big TDI guy and certainly has the skills and the facility to do it.He is hard to find on weekends though, as he tries to get away from his very busy shop life. We are only 150 miles from Moab and perhaps this is a good option. I'll go ahead and try to contact him and see what he thinks. I can also provide a place for them while they wait..... Miguel
