Mark, While I applaud your "can do" spirit, I think such a conversion is the mechanical and economic equivelent of the U.S. Vietnam war. That is to say, once you get involved, there's no F#%@?! end to it ! Why not find a clean wasserboxer van in need of an overhaul ? Stuffing a Subaru into a wasserboxer van would be much simplier. You'll save a lot of $$$$$ and tears......... JP |
