Subject:My New "Whitestar"

Well, I couldn't resist.  After all the talk this week about Bluestars,
Redstars and Whitestars, I just had to go out and buy a '89 Wolfsburg.  Sure
it's not a true Whitestar but I though it might get BenT and Chris going
again.

Actually, I've been looking for a nice van to make into our TDI demonstrator
and this seemed to fit the bill perfectly.  It's in pretty decent shape, no
rust, and a bit on the unusual side with the diagonal striped interior, gray
dash, factory subwoofer & amp, and 4 speed tranny.  Planning has already
begun for it's conversion: first it gets a 5 speed, then the TDI motor,
followed by a nice coat of fresh paint, and last, but not least, a set of
17" rims and tires.

I'll try to keep the list updated with news and photos as the conversion
progresses.  For now, here's some links to the photos of the unmodified van.

Cheers,

Jeff
