That's a good looking exterior! And you'll have plenty of spare engine parts from the original engine. It looks like you know what you're doing with vehicles and I would love to have that big of a shop. Welcome to the board from another new guy.

Welcome to the board! That's quite a collection of vehicles, enough to cause envy for those of us on this continent that can't get many of them...
Are you keeping the LT van, or is it just an engine donor for the Volvo? A2 Jetta coupes have always looked great to me, would be fun to put a TDI into one of those.... Was that drag racing on *ice* with the 343 vs the 911??
