OK, I downloaded the file and unpacked it to an ISO image file (vwcd.iso)
on my hard disk.  Now I have never burned using an image file before.  I
think this can be burned directly, I don't have to extract files from it
and then burn them ?  I tried twice using Adaptec EasyCD Creator 3.5c, but
both times I get an unreadable coaster.  I had used the "File"-"Create CD
from Disk Image" menu, and took default settings except to close CD at end
of burn.  It writes and ejects the CD, but it's unreadable on that drive or
a CD reader.  Am I doing it right ?  I've used this brand of blank before,
from same box.

If I can figure out the burn, I will be happy to make some list members a
copy, perhaps for some small extra parts you may have like a right
taillight lens ?  Don't swamp me yet - I still need to figure out the burn.

For those who want to download but haven't because it's big:  It took me
from 8AM to 10PM yesterday.  Normal dial-up line, and it disconnected me
twice.  But I was using an FTP program that supports resumable downloads.
Get one and you won't care about your connection.  I used the second mirror
site.
