Volks,

While looking through the VW parts catalogue, I have found two different
things that I know many volks would like to have.

First, I found that the Japanese version of the Eurovan had a different
name. The badge is in the same letter style as on the Eurovan, and also
the 92-98 Golf and Jetta. The badge says "Vanagon" :-) That would be a
nice upgrade to the rear end, eh? The p/n is 705 853 689 E. I dont know
if it is available.

Second, I found something many, if not all listees would like to have.
Sliding rear windows! Yeah! And this is not for the '99 SA Microbus, but
on the regular '80s Vanagon that you and I have. All the small pieces
are shown, and some of theme are the same as in the middle window. Those
of you that have the ETKA can see it on page 109-00 for the type2,
1980-92. For you others, I have taken the time to write down the p/ns on
the parts.
