Volkswagen Golf Mk1 Converted to VR6 Power

One of the best looking VR6 conversions that I have seen recently. Very clean and tidy engine compartment. Love the car color too. Very classy. Nice work!

Spotted - Electric VW Beetle

Seems like a good idea. It probably has more torque than it's original power plant.

I was surprised to find out that this bug is really Honda-powered

Engine Conversions - 1.9 TDI Powered Mk1 Golf

I am a sucker for well-preserved Mk1Golfs having owned one back in the 80s. I came across this Mk1 powered by a modern 1.9 liter TDI a few months ago during Waterworks in Tacoma, Washington. Very tasteful and extremely well executed. Love this car!

Spotted - VR6 Syncro Vanagon

Very cool conversion to VR6 power for this Vanagon Syncro. I posted about a company doing Subaru conversions back in September of last year. It sounds like the only way to go to build a proper adventure vehicle.

A Proper Mercedes Hot Rod

Came across this beauty while walking the field during the 2010 Goodguys Pacific Northwest Nationals.

Unfortunately it was sporting an LT-1. Still cool anyway...

Mazda Miata with Real ZOOM ZOOM

Came across this Miata sporting a Ford V8 under the hood. A very cool conversion indeed. There is a whole cottage industry of these out there if you are interested...

LS1 Powered BMW 3 Series

I recently came across this BMW 3 Series (E30) sporting an LS1 engine donated by a Corvette. Looks like a tight fit! A very professional looking conversion by a young enthusiast. I bet it sounds awesome.
