I just saw some info on these guys http://subagon.com/ that take VW Vanagons and swap motor with a Subaru SVX. They then build them up to look pretty respecatble. Maybe an idea for Kurt??? lol
They are pretty pricey, and I think it's more the nostalgia than anything.

Admittedly those are kinda cool. There was a guy that lived off of pearl street extension when I lived in Parkersburg that had a SVX with a blown transmission (shocking) and a Vanagon he was going to do the swap to. He abandoned the project before he started it and sold them on Ebay.

Personally I'd rather pull the SVX engine out and put it in a Porsche 912.

Those things are really neat looking. They also look extremely top heavy.

No worries, have to be able to drive it to roll it!
