thanks to the nice lady at the danish motor registration office not knowing the difference between HP and KW i can now put (legally) a 109,5 hp engine in the van :D :D :D So why not put in an AFN tdi, that's 110 hp? Let's face it -although a good engine for my Golf- a JX is eventually not going to ...

Just noticed watching the pictures that my garage floor looks awfully clean doesn't it..

Only thing missing is a turbo. Anyone have one lying around? I'm looking for the standard JX turbo, KKK brand (Borg), type K14 with no or minimal play on the turbine..

Have a safe trip, enjoy beautiful Thailand!!

I took a some pictures of the bullbar, also underneath the car:

I believe this one was on the stand of VW Nutzfahrzeuge at the Techno Classica in Essen in 2010. I took several pictures as I was very impressed with it. Later I met the owner and his son, who also has a multivan syncro 16" in white.
