    How about a real-wood trimmed old VW Bus? With real wood veneer on the sides? hmmm. She'd be so busy polishing wood, that she wouldn't dream up Family Transit!:yahoo:

    I don't know the ins and outs of it, but I have heard that it is a pretty easy swap to a (liquid-cooled) Subaru Impreza block. This would certainly give you some extra power and those engines are very reliable.
    You will loose a bit of the old sound though...
