Say you've got a clean '87 VW Vanagon Wolfsburg Edition, but it's feelin' a tad tired. The natural thing, of course, is to swap in an '02 WRX mill, beef up the trans, swap in Porsche brakes and steering wheel, rebuild the trans to handle the extra grunt, slap on a set of wheels from the Neun-Elf, and then go out and smoke unsuspecting GTI drivers. Well, it might not be the natural thing to do, but we're sure glad somebody did it.
