Main unit is about 5"x18" add maybe 6" for end pipes and 3" for electrical cover. Complete units are hard to find - the fuel pump, glow plug, exhaust and switch are frequently missing. You could drive with top down and still be warm with this as it was designed to heat a VW bug. With timer you can start it before you even start the car up. Designed to go next to gas tank in the bug. Could be installed up under dash of Speedster or the open area between rear seat and the engine fire wall.

You're not moving to Florida before you get that Speedster running I would hope! I mean you've got to have something to haul the garage in.
I asked the guy at the Pack-Rat pod place if I could ship the Speedie in one of their pods - he said NO that I need to contact a car hauler (but then it would most likely have to actually run to get on the hauler). Trying to whittle down the good ideas and spares right now - I mean who needs an 2 extra trans, a 914 trans, 2 914 engines, 3 sets of seats, yadda yadda.
Where in Florida are you moving to?
Tell me more about the two 914 engines.
SOLD - thxs.
Son of a so-and-so. I'd have bought that.
Dammit.

I think we need to talk about some of the stuff in that garage. I might like to make you an offer for a few of those things, like maybe some T-4 spares and the engine stand/VW adapter, your wheel dollies, vise and so on.
When are you planning to go?

Greg, the BN-2 manual recommends NOT running the heater with the engine off. It has something to do with the amp draw of the glowplug. Always start the car first, then the heater. I don't ever leave my heater running unattended, just in case. Somebody(not me, I swear!) got a good deal though.
Wolfgang, I just moved from Yellowknife, NT to Ontario....5,600 kms. After lots of calls I ended up getting Our Move out of Edmonton to do the move. One flat rate for a 53 ft trailer including dolly, logistic bars, racks, blankets, etc. We had to load and unload but we were not charged by weight, just a flat rate for the truck and driver. I put all our stuff in there AND the IM AND the Passat. If needed I could have used the logistic bars and plywood to build platforms on top of the cars for more stuff. Look around, there's likely better deals out there...
