I went  to the new improved Vanagon.Com site to search archives but was
unable to  figure it out.  So, I would like recommendations about how best to
tow my  87 Westy.  I have a simple tow bar.

remove the front bumper...there are already some holes there in the rebar
that may line up w/ your tow bar mounts..   otherwise you may have to  drill
a hole or 2..   doesn't matter, when you reach your destination  , bolt on
the front bumper and it will cover up the  holes...
