            i would assume the boxer engine is from perhaps from a liberty b4? being twin turbo wouldnt make it a wrx? though the name is VWRX?! lol . . . . and the 30v v6 is out of (what i know of) the Audi A4/A6 quattros and B5 Passats . . . . . . more info!

              I think U will find the Boxer motor is from a Subaru legacy. A late 90 mdl.
              Nice rides btw!

                  Welcome to VWwA Kurt

                  Love the V6 Caravelle

                  Is that a Triton dash in the Doka ? (wicked wing )

                  (I've seen that dash can't quite place what its out of???)

                    The dash is Subaru - including steering wheel.

                          I LIKE THE CUT OF YOUR JIB!!!

                          No seriously. This is awesome. What wacky stuff!

                          That V6 looks meaty and the twin turbo thing is beggging for some track work when its done

                          Is the twin turbo boxer AWD??

                              Jesus! I really didn't know i was gonna get so many replies so quick!. Many thanks to all the comments ,. I will quickly reply to as many of the questions ,

                              the double cab is a 69 low light
                              got a 1998 legacy gtb front cut and decided that the dash may look ok in the bus also, and its a near perfect fit. Everything had to come back 300 mm due do depth( gear lever,steering,seats,etc) it was too good to chuck.
                              Should be good for about 230kw with minor mods done! Spent a fortune on 2 litre gearbox, all albins radial straight cut gears, super diff, heavy duty bonded clutch with lightened flywheel. i have plans for hillclimb ,drags come street cruiser for this long term headache.

                              The caravelle v6 is out of a 99 passat 4 motion ,please correct me if i am wrong, I saw the car it was in before we pulled it and it was flat in the bum from a gum tree branch that no longer wanted to live!. That van is ridiculously over powered now! I can smoke those 17" 245s for some distance. It's the wifes child taxi, and she does like to be first of the lights!.
                              Unfortunately its an auto though, and i am on trans number 3 . This one is from a Audi 100 and it seems to be doing the business.
