My dream engine was always a big type 4 as well.

I started building up one in 2001 but with the sad shape of the engine after 27 years abuse in a bus and the realization of cost to make a decent engine out of it I gave up too.

The Subi conversion cost me less than a proper rebuild of a type 1 and has given the car a whole new lease of life, I've done more Kms in the few years since the conversion than nearly a decade prior.

If you spend the time doing the conversion right it's a nice easy way to get a fit and forget engine thats powerful, reliable and cheap.

The 3 things they reckon aren't possible to get in one package....
