About Meridian Afterburn
If you remember my car as it used to be, you’re in for a surprise! I finally got the big ticket item on my wish list… a VR6 conversion! Yes, I know have one of the few Cabrio VR6s on the road. My objective was to keep its appearance as stock as possible. Can you tell the difference? VR6 conversion work by Eastside Motorsports. Previous work by VW Sport/1552 Design.
