Jeff,

Join a car club, any car club, and start befriending motorheads! Play your cards right and one might do the whole thing for you for fun!

Problem solved.

All this talk about why someone can't do their own engine conversion has me thinking. I am possibly making a move in the next 60 days to the Virginia Beach area. For the first time in my life I will be living in an apartment. I have 1) the Vanagon 2) company car 3) a motorcycle. I am looking at both apartments and rental houses, but I honestly do NOT want yard work, and apartment complexes with swimming pools and fitness centers look quite appealing. BUT WHERE DO I WORK ON MY VANAGON???? Even changing the oil-I know most apartments frown on working on cars in the parking lot. One ad I looked at said the complex featured a "car care center" but I don't know what that means-a place to work on your car or a bunch of guys who will detail it for $99,99. I also see an engine conversion in my future-IF I keep the Vanagon, and my living quarters will factor heavily into that decision. So, how about it you Vanagon owning apartment dwellers, how do you do it?

Jeff Stewart
