I agree with John Art. I think if it was a misunderstanding then it needs to be resolved.

I like this. I'd like to get out to a MWC meet but it is difficult for me to set aside a whole weekend for it with 2 small children and now a 3rd due in November.
Something a little closer where I could reasonably go to and from in a day would be great. Michigan isn't bad I think Ann Arbor is 3 hours for me.
That being said I wouldn't mind trying to make it to a meet at JJFAB, I'd like to see the shop before its gone maybe Stu will come along too.

I'm up for another meet so long as I can get off work. Weekends are the busiest at the restaurant so only one person can take off. Especially when I manage. But if I get enough warning I can make something happen.

I am not here to start a pissing match either. But it really is not all that hard.
And to be clear he did not have a full donor car to use either. It was all pieced together.
Also another reason for this post is for people to ask and get their questions answered about the swap. I thought that is what these forums were for.
So these gaps can be filled if someone just asks a question.
He did all the work to the car in pretty much one weekend. I was not there helping him do it. I just gave advise on what needed to be done.
This is the second swap like this I have in some way been a part of.
To the people that have done the swaps it really is pretty much straight forward to do the swap. So if people have a sound N/A shell and they do it with planning and searching for parts the swap can be done for cheaper than buying a turbo one.

That is an awesome attitude to have and I for one am grateful to see you trying to help as much as you have. You were there all those years ago when I didn't know anything about my T5.
People are quick to spit out second and third hand information here so having a thread such as this where you can see that it has been done is great.
Only thing I could ask is do you guys think you can remember the parts needed? Even if it is just a rough draft? I think that will cut down on a lot of erroneous posts in this thread.
