I really have no clue how to put the whole thing together I don't think it is all that hard. Just look at all the parts you have and try to see how they might fit together to make a box of the right size and shape. In your box you probably have some of the ducts that actually install OUTSIDE of the box after the box is installed. I just hope you have ALL the parts you need. You should also have 2 black rubber hoses, ~1" OD, which are water drain hoses: 1 long and 1 short. You should clean out the long one and install it now, or it may already be installed. If it is already there, pull it out and clean it and then reinstall. It is the water drain hose and it is necessary that it is working well if the car is to stay dry inside. The long one runs down from above where it connects to a metal spigot on the right side of the metal upper part of the airbox; it then runs out a hole just to the right of center above where the floor hump meets the front bulkhead. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
