Re: G60 conversions

[Andre Bjorkheim <andreb@u.washington.edu>]

   Well Brandon, I am not sure where you are located but I know of an
individual in my area (Jay Sweetman) who has 2 articles in EC that 
concern putting in a G60 into both an A1 and A2 Scirocco.  He did it
with the help of Cambell Nelson Wrecking in Edmonds Washington and also
Bellevue Motorsports in Bellevue.  I have met him once but I am not
sure if he actually does conversions for other people.  I know that in
one of the articles he tells how to install a G60, but for which Scirocco
I cant remember.  Look for an old article called "Alcan Scirocco", that is
about the A1.  I think it was last year that he had another article
concerning the A2.  I hope that helps  =)
