Well Volks,


Most of you probably do not know that Mercedes Benz tested their new A
class setup in a Vanagon because they did not have their own chassis yet.
This meant putting a front wheel drive setup into the rear wheel drive
Vanagon (not recommended for westys !). This opens up a whole new set of
possible conversions with some modifications to the interior. You will gain
a new potential trunk - where you you find the engine now.


Just some food for someone crazy enough ..... :)
