so maybe i'm being thick, but this would allow me to put a CR engine into an MK2 with fairly minimal headache?

I hope they bust lifted pickups that blow coal too

Last fall, we did this trip with my Passat. Labrador was kinda dull. Big parts of the road are still gravel, so you've got the be a bit careful. We were a minority - using a car on the road is fine, but most are in pickups or trucks. Happy Valley-Goose Bay was pretty dull - not much to do and...

I'm not sure how prone to failure they are. I've spoken to a bunch of owners and VW techs up here who haven't heard of an issue, but they can't really argue with my pics.

So far, yeah. I feel the steering is a touch more direct and the ride isn't any better or worse than before. My next step will be doing something with the shocks
