John:

I had to get a "Letter of conformance" from VW that this vehicle met all
US EPA emission standards and DOT safety standards fir that year.
According to my letter, I'm OK unless I tried to register in California,
as it does not meet CARB specs.

I'l be posting all the stuff I have done once I am successfully back in
the US.
