yup that's right i forgot
they made 10 of them
they all were scrapped IIRC because the VR6 wasn't dependable enough yet http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

I remember back in 1990 I had an issue of VW Motoring and there was a silver A2 built by German tuner Hartmann with a VR6.
In North America its possible that Ron's Parts was the 1st to do it ? Whan Shawn Van Neer worked there didn't they build a montana green VR6 synchro in 1991 ? I have the issue of European Car here somewhere....It was the car in all the Spax adds for a while....

^^^ HAHAHAHA. the first I saw "completed"(it ran) was at aquafest in 99...but if i remember correctly, they informed me and a buddy that they ran the speedo from the alternator(we just asked for no good reason) and for SOME reason this didn't seem to make sense. I think the one vwsport was doing for a customer was one of the first ones started.

LOOKEY HERE!!!
this is from the 20th anniversary GTI article in an old VW trends I have, read through some of the dates (1993, 1995) it confirms that Shawn van Neer was the first to do a conversion (A2 VR6) he also did the first A1 VR6
