I have at least two other detail photo's, one where they replaced the clutch (engine on ground) and one where my father once found a bird's nest next to the airfilter. The last photo is a partial engine shot only, but I have not scanned these two yet, and are having some trouble with my computer these days (d@mned Win98) so it may take a few days before I can get these finished. > > > But, the VW "Variant II" is in fact a totally different car.

No, the regular T36 Variant carried two designations, they were referred as the "I" and "II" so the dealer network would know which of the two Variants they were talking about. The "II" had 1500 cc engine, the swingaxles, diagonal tires and higher load capacity, where the "I" was pretty much technically identical to the Notch- and Fastback. As mentioned over, when I get the computer up and running 100% again, I will let the owners manual into the scanner and show you the data sheet.
