Re: [T3] Nadine was born RHD with Sunroof

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I guess it was also quite a concidence, too, that my chassis number begins
318... just like the model number, huh? :)  Is there anyway to find out
which model she is?  Does VW keep any records like that based on the Chassis
number?

Tonight I was looking at my microfiche of T3 part numbers, and I decided
right then and there to use almost exclusively N.O.S. and German parts if I
can help it.  I looked up all the color combinations by model and year, so
that I can select an appropriate interior during her pseudo restoration.  No
more TMI interior for me!  It will be expensive though.

I may even get rid of my new Empi singlepack.
