Hello everyone! My Vanagon TD project is finally on the road. I installed a 1.6 TD engine in it. I rebuilt the bottom end & changed the turbo. The project went fairly smoothly, and I am satisfied with the outcome. I think it could still use more power though. I invite any list members in Southern Ontario, or anyone passing by to go for a ride! My next project is to change the tranny. I am gear limited to about 60 mph/h. Anyone know of a good 5 speed forsale? I will be posted pictures of the conversion on my web site soon.
