Werd. Some of you might remember Gregus' old MK2 from a few years ago. Kirk has plans of low-n-slow. Reliability and economics in the 8V. Anybody want a 16V motor?? It's for sale.....

Kirk was sooo excited to get this swap done....he was doing flips

He even tried to help Keane get the donor car ready to drop the 8V....

props are in order to J Langille for the use of vital equipment needed to make this possible

good thing Keane knew what he was doing......

....because Carter was just being....well, Carter.... somehow the word "useless" comes to mind hahahahahahhahahaa

the crew.....

the sketch.........lol

even Chris helped out....he held the light source!!!

in the end Keane had to step it up as it was getting late...

that's it for now, until the 8V gets dropped into the Jetta. Er, wait a minute.....the 16V has to get dropped out of the Jetta first before the 8V goes in
