A new post SWEET! First off I would recommend having it professionally done unless the guy knows the ins and outs of VW motor swaps. I dont know the whole process but Im sure its fairly involved. There is a great shop in Tampa called Cars and Concepts that works specifically with German cars and they would be willing to take on that project. Very nice guys that do quality work! Of course if your friend should get a wild hair up his ass he could always swap out a 1.8t or a VR6 into that thing! E-mail me or PM me if you have any questions! Thanks for the post!
