This Engine-Swapped VW Golf Rose From its Own Ashes
Like so many of my favorite stories, this one begins high in the San Gabriel mountains early on a summer Sunday morning. During my usual scan of the Newcomb’s Ranch parking lot, I spied a somewhat patina’d yellow Mk1 Volkswagen Golf. Despite the slightly rusted exterior, the interior looked extremely well cared for. As luck would have it, the owner, Narbeh Iranosian, walked out from Newcomb’s Ranch right then. This is where things got interesting.
