-- [ From: John H. Rodgers * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- Hi Gail! I was looking at those bumpers also. I hate these cheap things with the plastic end-caps on my '85 GL. Looks like they were stuck on as an after- thought. Have been looking at the various pictures of the VW vehicles available in Europe and SA, upsets me a bit with VW Father-lands attitude towards making those available in the US. If their marketing folks would get on the stick, they would, I believe, uncover a vast latent market for them. But how do you get a corporate giant like that to get off the dime? It's true that every manufacturer, it seems, has put their version of a van on the road, most of which, it seems, are slick, low slung, slant roofed replacements for the old family station wagon. But I never could use a stations wagon, ergo the new vans either. There is a hole in the market that is wide open for the Vanagon type. Of course the EV I guess is supposed to be the replacement, but it is such a departure from style and type, that in my mind it misses the mark. John Rodgers '85 GL Driver

Those Winkler foglights do look good, but what i'm longing for is a bumper like the one in the projektzwo #3 pic. I did contact the projektzwo website , andmy understanding is that they have them for front and rear, and want over $1200 for each! i've found some at places that supply stuff for trucks or 4wd vehicles, for less than $500, but nothing to fit a vanagon. Anyone have any other ideas which might put me on the road to Bumper heaven? Gail __________________________ Gail Fitzpatrick '87 GL Westi, 125k [Frieda] Sacramento, CA <redwood@speedlink.com>
