I even like the looks of that ]grill. BTW, that's the radiator, and it's got a Rabbit-gas engine in the ]back... When a bus (or Vanagon, for that matter) has an in-line engine stuffed in the back in place of the proper boxer, is that engine installed inline with the vehicle, as in an Audi, or transversally, as in a Golf or present Pas- sat? I've never looked in the back of a diesel Vanagon, so I have no clue. I would think the inline arrangement would be a tight fit, but would allow the use of the standard Typ II transaxle, while the Golf arrangement might allow the whole engine/transmission from the car to be used, but with the enginer laid over flat.
