1.   Has any one had any experience with the inexpensive awnings in the
JC Whitney catalog?  I'd like to attach an awning to my 82 Westy  but
don't wish to spend the $450+ my friend paid, if possible.. On the other
hand, need one that will last .

2.      Does anyone have or know of a source for skylight parts (the
vent on the pop top)?  I want to add a VW sky light to my pop top which
has never had one and so need ALL the hardware, I do have  a new
condition skylight (Plexiglas part only) and need the rest.  Has anyone
done this  and wish to give some pointers?

3.    Is  there anyone that has compiled info or made a  "manual" on
converting the 1.6 Diesel to turbo  or going up to a larger  Diesel
engine?

4.    I've seen several discussions about flashing oil pressure lights.
If it is any help, my wife's cabrio showed this just  after she bought
it.  The PO records showed Pennzoil 10-40 ~5000miles previous.  When I
changed  the oil it  poured out like water.  After adding 20-50  Quaker
State it hums happily along with oil pressure safely above 3 bar even
under the hottest conditions.  No more flashing light.

    This is a great site and thanks to everyone who takes the time to
share their valuable experiences.  I'm new here  so please be patient as
I learn  and contribute  what  I can.
