Hi, I'm a week into owning my first Vanagon... We have a 1984 GL that does not have the folding seat in the back... we eventually want to change it around so it's somewhat like a 1988 Wolfsburg... it had rear facing seats and a nifty table that folds out. Anyway, I went to a second hand parts source (e.g. VW junk yard) and they want to charge $450 for the rear folding seat including the pad for over the engine. Having no experience with this kind of thing, I was wondering if this seems like a fair price? I am also wondering if anyone knows of a good source for used parts in the Seattle area? And/or the internet? Yet another question.... Can anyone recommend a good repair guide for the water-cooled Vanagon and where I might be able to find it? TIA, Topher |
