Subject:      91 Carat Restoration

OK, now that one van is gone - I'm ready to move into my 91' Carat
restoration project.

It's an automatic and has to have a tranny re-build - no question. But
while the transaxle is out - I thought I might have a peloquin put in.
Plan to have this done locally. No problem for the auto-tranny, but
there are question marks about the peloquin being done locally.
Any opinions or commentary on this would be appreciated.

If anyone knows about anything that is different about the 91's vs other
Carats, I would appreciate hearing of that too. I seem to have heard
that headlight switches are different from other Vanagons, and maybe
ignition switches as well. But anything helps.

I plan to put on new 15-16 inch rims - and will consider a big brake
kit, so am inquiring as to experience among the list membership. I'm
also interested in upgrading the rear brakes to disk brakes. Would like
info on that as well..

Thanks a bunch, Volks. Ya'll are the best!!
