    I'm sure most of ya are 'bout tired of see this, but the engine swap is finally DONE! It took one year to transform my A from stock to what you see here, the engine being the last thing. I took it for a spin today, it really hauls**** compared to the stock A engine, and sounds good too!!

    Your coupe is one of my favorites. Shows how much a little restraint can do for a car.

    Chris, good job it looks great! What brand are those air filter elements in the Edmunds air cleaners? Did you get them off ebay?

    Thanks everyone.
    Don't know what filters they are, came inside the air cleaners. Bought em at a swap meet. I'll pull em apart and see if they have a part number

    Chris,

    For as big a fan as I am of chopping the***** out of model A's I have to say I absolutely love your coupe. It's one of my top three favorite HAMB cars. Congrats on a beautiful coupe.

    Now that's a cool addition to the engine bay. BenD got it right on the money,"sometimes less is best."
