Subject:Sliding door transplant.
From:Bruce Tubbs
Date:Mon, 14 Jul 2003 22:53:34 -0400

My 85 wolfsburg weekender burned, and I'm transplanting select parts to my
82 full westy diesel w jetta transplant.  The slider has a different
latching system. The question is.... has anybody done this, It looks
possible with a welding of the rear latch plate, cut fron the 85. The front
of the door also is different and it looks that it can also be altered.  Any
feed back will be greatly appriciated. You can reply off list if you want.
Thanks Bruce Tubbs
