Hi all... I recently purchased an '81 Transporter to play with. It came with a fresh (2k miles) GEX 2.0 and Weber progressive conversion, as well as a freshly-overhauled trans, clutch and suspension and new tires, all for the princely sum of $1200. Oh, and the gas heater works great! Anyway, we have a new Jetta and a 16V Scirocco as well, so I'm fairly new to the aircooled side of things. The bus just looks like hell (tan over brown with red primer spots, whitewall tires), but I've had a lot of fun driving it back and forth to work over thast couple of weeks. The body and wheels are getting a good coat of tan epoxy primer in a couple of weeks, which will make it all the same color, at least. To add to the "utility" look, I'd also like to install a set of 27x8.5/14 Kumhos on the stock rims. I know these fit the Syncro; will I have clearance issues on the 2WD model? (It sits up pretty high). Also, where can I get that black plastic fender trim I've seen on the Syncros? Thanks for any other advice you might offer, too...
