VW South Africa manufactures various models. The Type 25, or Type 2 T3 Transporter ("Vanagon" in USA), is still made there. The Caravelle version is the top-of-the-line one, with rectangular headlights. The Microbus version has dual round lights; the inner pair is smaller, much like a Golf GTi, and looks really aggressive; this grill fits all round-light T3s. The lower grill is a full-width 1-piece item without any foglights, and looks much better than the stock German Hitler-mustache unit!
Bays were the Type 2 T2 (or Series 2), 1967-1989 and still in production in Mexico & Brasil; these are basically much-modified T1s (Splits), with redesigned cab and curved windshield; early models retained the Split's rear shape and lights; later versions changes this to a more squared-off rear. -- Andrew Grebneff 165 EvansSt, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Ph: 0064 (3) 473-8863 fax: 0064 (3) 479-7527 1986 Toyota Corolla 1.8DX CE80 diesel sedan 1989 Toyota Corolla 1.8DX CE96 diesel van 1989 Toyota Corona 2.0D Select CT170 diesel sedan 1992 Toyota Estima Lucida 2.2 turbodiesel MPV (=narrow "Previa") 1984 VW Caravelle GL (to be fitted with 260hp Subaru SVX flat-6 & Porsche G50 trans) Seashell, Macintosh, VW & Toyota van nut |
