Good questions.  Also some rhetorical questions:  did VW Mexico develop the I-4
installation independent of VW Germany? and are replacement installation parts for
these early watercooled transporters still available in Mexico?  What a fun vehicle
to be able to check-out a little.  I'd like any pics or info as time allows, Jon.
