Yea Frank, I had the same problem with my wife's 87 VW Fox. The paper shroud that covered the radiator over time just disintergrated. I tried to make it with various materials (never worked very long), but finaly gave up playing designer when I found a excellent specimen in the wrecking yard. Good luck, Tyrone Big Pine Key, FL 87 Van GL Syncro etc..... |
