Man Alive!! what a spectacular find!
My Grandad bought one of these on 79/80 reg UCK 62V from a garage (the name of which I've forgotten) in Bilsberrow Lancashire.
he sold it to my parents in the late 80's and it was the first car I even drove, albeit only 6 feet.
it was a silver 1600 GL and rusted like it was going out of fashion. I'll see if I can find some picture next time I see my folks.
Bookmarked BTW!
Cheers Pete

just read through the whole thread (over two days, in the office whilst nobody was looking).
great job on the teardrop, very neat indeed!
I'm not at all jealous of your garage, honest.......

VW AAB/AJA 2.4 straight 5 as found in T4Transporters and Audi 100/A6 (in europe at least). plonk a turbo on it, get an LDA fitted to the IP and get some "PP3" injectors from a bloke called "Rake" on the vwt4forum, should be good for 160+ bhp and will sound like a diesel audi quattro...... On what gearbox? I have C4 A6 with the 2.5 TDI 5 pot and it's a fine engine - Considered finding another to go in my 2.5PI Triumph..... but what gearbox? There is some electrickery too. Nick the 2.4 and 2.5 engines are different, the 2.4 is IDI and the 2.5 DI. in the transporter they are attached to an O2B gearbox which is T4 specific with equal length drive shafts and a larger diff. I recently swapped by IDI ABL engine for a TDI AHU one, I really should've compare the two gearboxes whilst I had them detached from the engines. the engine in a transporter leans forwards, all other VW transverse applications have the engine leaning backwards, so I image the mountings on the bell housings are in different orientations. with the AAB/AJA there are very few wires and it has a mech pump.

you'd need the top ALDA (the whole thing's the ALDA, the pin section is the LDA) every day is a school day!

The engine that used to be in my Vw t4 was turbo charged but had no on boost fuel compensation, and that was standard fit from Vw.
You can simply slap a turbo on your motor and you will feel the benefit.
The on boost fuel compensation is via the device that the "derv stoat" ;-) mentioned, but it's called an LDA.
The turbo on my T4 is tiny, so you could slap a pair of them on your motor for a quick spool and then plenty of boost further up the rev range.
Remember, you will need an oil feed to the turbo and a drain back to the sump.
Stop reading this and get on with it!

I was shopping for my Nephew's 3rd birthday present a couple of months back and I saw this and thought of you (but again, not in a gay way.....) ![](http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/170firebird/IMAG0722.jpg)

are the headlights Dominator bike lights?
I'm planing to fit a set to my Caddy van as extra headlights (aimed so that they don't dazzle) as the aftermarket lights that the van came with a poor.

the type of coolbox that runs off the cig lighter (peltier I think) will nail the battery in no time! in my T4 I have a 12/24v compressor fridge that uses very little power and still has enough welly to make ice cubes. pricey though....
