I have several old Mitchell Manuals that have a pretty decent "picture book"
breakdown of Vanagon parts. It includes part numbers and the dealer list
price of the parts (in 1992), as well as the estimated labor rates (hours)
for certain jobs.
I can scan these pages into a pdf when I get back from Germany if you guys
haven't come up with a better solution. Let me know.
Cheers,
Jeff

Jim,
Do you think it possible for these to be scanned and then assembled into
a PDF for distribution on CD for "Personal Use"?
