Actually, it looks like they changed the WHOLE body except for the rockers and rear innerpinnings tin. It has the new nose, fenders, forced fresh air system and plenum, vent slots on the C pillars, rear fenders... What surprised me was that Id think it easier and cheaper to just make ONE door for all 3 models and one rocker assy... they did change the base frame some, but not entirely, Interesting Keith > The people in charge at VW must have liked the Notch's clean lines to not > mess with it much. Not really - I reckon it just didn't sell as well as the FB once that was introduced. Total sales of SB greater than NB and FB put together. Steady but small demand for NB didn't justify changing the body significantly, but had to change the front for the long nose. Dave.
