(ot) got an idea

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (brett cooke)]

mostly, as you said, for the budget swap. i got the motor, the shell is 
cheap. also in my various workings on his car, the motor can be a bear to 
work on. the airbox/ fuel injection is actually inside the fender, the 
starter is blocked by the a-arm and tranny etc..
oh yeah, did i forget to mention fear. does anyone remember what happened 
when i turboed my corrado?
