Me to. We looked at a white with all black interior but the guy wanted more money and it was the base model. This one has the 18s, sunroof, steering wheel controls, mp3/bluetooth, etc etc

I liked the mocha brown way more, she fell in love when she saw it in person.

Glad you guys ended up with that Instead of a dodge mini van

^^^ could not have said it better myself!

haha I know the Routan is made by Dodge, but honestly it still felt like a dub when driving it. The suspension and interior is made by VW

You will need to add driveshaft and rear diff to your list. At least.

[CoopaCoopaCoopa]

how much stuff is different from fwd/awd when you're swapping tip to manual?

Just the driveshaft,rear diff, and transmission. Everything else is the same.

haha hey you moved the jack around don't sell yourself short!

PROGRESS PICTURES:

THE CHAOS








400LBS OF GARBAGE


CRANK GRINDED. FLYWHEEL BOLTED ON


PATIENTLY WAITING FOR MONDAY.


THE REASON I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY.


So all in all it wasn't that bad. My friend almost last his thumb do to the transmission slipping off the jack but other then that everything went smooth. Grinding the crank was a bit sketchy, 4mm had to be taken off! While under the car Kevin said, "Uh Oh" He pointed out the motor mounts were missing something….yeah those little pressed in bolts were bent and fell out of the mounts at some point…..don't know when.

[99.5blacka4]

told you you were capable of doing this without me.

[thepirate]

Probably would have gotten everything bolted back up yesterday but…..wives had to stop progress

Yes you do! You know you'd rather have a warm body to sleep next to then a cold garage full of lifeless automobiles.
