I am shure they will gladly share past experiences doing similar conversions and provide all kinds of help and technical information. You may find a member of the news group willing to help. Sounds like an exciting project. Post your street address and I'm shure a few "vw-water cooled" news group members will drop by your house. You will likely want to install: seal-skin seat covers; leopard-skin floor mats; a whale-bone shifter knob; and, 2 nucular war heads (small ones) as side view mirrors. Warning don't tell the folks in the "vw-water cooled" news group about the war heads...they may wish to install these in another location... and that location will not be on the bus nor will that location be visiable to you (ouch!!). Good Luck With The Project Dino KubiK
