As some of u know, im a full vee dubb enthusiast. I wish to do a Subaru EJ25 (wateva wateva) conversion for a beetle based buggy. And, i just thought it would be great if someone who is experienced and doing the conversion could document everything and make it into a published manual/book on how to do it. (Including the exact bits to use, so everything is easy and downhill)

Anyone interested in buying such a book if it were to come out in the future?

Anyone interested in writing or making it?

it would benefit us all, and wouldn't be such a gamble relying on all the info on the web sites without full instructions etc.

Its just a suggestion.😉

It would be such a convenience if he is.

I am putting an EJ22 into our Bay bus at the moment using Brads gear and it is making the job so much easier. A bus has some differences to doing a beetle, but a lot of the parts are the same.

Keep your eyes peeled on this section of the forum and that is where you will learn.

In all honesty I believe it would take me longer to write a manual on how to do it than it would to actually do the job, hence why it would not be worth my while doing that.

Like the stretched limo I have just finished. I have been asked by quite a few people if I would publish plans on how to do it. It is not that easy for me, compared to the metalwork which is my specialty.
