Why would you pm someone about such a popular and yet also mundane topic? A forum search would bring a lot of results.

FWIW I'd put a 1.8 20vt petrol engine in it I've been seeing this done a fair bit lately. I dreamt of doing it about 12 years ago when I did my last AGG conversion but it wasn't a path well travelled and the van was my daily.

Its the early exhaust gasket kit, comprising a pair of 2-pipe/three bolt gaskets and a repurposed tailpipe gasket for the collector/silencer joint. I have some NOS VW ones in stock but the bolts are too short. Very high quality however they do have an asbestos warning label. Sealed packets.
