Subject:      Getting parts numbers
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Can anyone tell me how to go about finding the part numbers I need?
I have an '84 Westy and am going to be looking for a bunch of parts.
Basically I am putting a new engine, and possibly rear cv's.  Then I am
going to work on the front end and I need driver side upper ball joint,
possibly lower ball joint, coil spring, and possibly a stabilizer bar.  I
know this won't be everything, but if I can first do some price comparisons
from some of the list dealers I can then decide which project to begin with,
or have the vw mechanic (non-dealership) do this.  He will let me purchase
the parts and then put them on. I have a Bentley, but don't see anywhere
where there are listed #'s for the parts.  Do I just need to get this
information from the mechanic or is there an easier way.  I would like to
know before signing a blank check to the mechanic.
TIA
