This really is kinda' exciting. To my knowledge there is nothing like this that would be available for any other group of car enthusiasts. And the effort and support would solidify this group even more that it is, as well as put VW on notice that there are a bunch of quasi-organized supporters out there that they should pay attention to.

Ok Vanagon List

What started out as a bit of speculation has shown to be a feasible project.

NOW all we have to do is convenience VW to allow us to reproduce their microfiche diagrams onto the back end of our CD. I know its copyright but seeing we are all dedicated owners and drivers of their Van and its been ten years since they last made one ( Sorry S.A. and Mexico excluded) surely the persuasive talents of some of our list members should come close . Anyone with contacts in VW.

Just imagine the collective knowledge of the archives and the actual exploded diagrams showing how everything fits into the scheme of things. Now that would be something!

Ray Hunnam Still pushing the idea of the diagrams.
