    Well, Actually I have several.  I just re-did the fuel lines on the gas
tank, not the most fun job.  I plan on re-tinting but lack the expertise to
do a good job myself.  Just finished re-upholstering the interior, new
hedliner, walls, etc.  Upgraded A/C fom early model to late model style,
installed weekender rear seat and new front seats.  Basicly a conversion
from brown vynal to blue velour.  Installed custom interior cabinets, one
for a TV ,VCR and microwave and the other for refrigerator and hanging
closet and some storage.  the next project is a nice wood veneer on the
dashboard area to match the wood on the cabinets.  I have considered the
audi 5 cyl conversion, but it is still $1000 more than converting to an
inline 4.  I will probably convert to the inline 4 even though I have 2
running audy 5 cyl cars sitting in front of my house.  for some reason, I
cannot justify the nearly $2000 for the audi kit where the inline 4 kit is
around $900.
    Maby that is a new debate the list could pick up.  Is the amount of
power gained from the 5 cyl conversion worth the extra $1000.  Personnaly, I
think not.  both engines have almost the same power and the inline 4 is
smaller and less expensive parts.

    Does anyone know where I can get a 100 or more amp alernator?  the stock
one just dosn't cut it for my van.
