mikeJanuary 2, 2011 at 7:38 pm #243321Welcome, Mike. Take some photos of what you have and I’ll bet someone here has one just like it. They’ll tell you what you got. Also, where to find the ID plates.
January 2, 2011 at 8:10 pm #243322Yeah pictures will be easier to recognize. Is your TD front or reear engine (VW) ?

Tons of great people and even more great knowledge here!
Like they said, add some pics to this thread (click the tree icon above with the arrow, to upload or the tree icon without the arrow to link to a picture stored on-line).
We’ll help you figure out what you own!

January 3, 2011 at 10:36 am #243324Welcome Mike, Glad to have you on the forum.We would most likely be able to tell you exactly what you have from pictures but if that is not possible ,ask any questions you may have any way. Look in the members photo gallery ,click on the button at the top right of this page, and compare your car to the ones in the gallery .We already know what most of these are so if you see one that looks like your’s we would be able to identify it as well.Look for small differences in grille height and the pan connecting the fenders beneath the grille,gas tank [engine cover], and the area where the rear fenders connect to the running boards as these are some of the most obvious differences from one manufacturer to another.
January 3, 2011 at 7:39 pm #243325thanks guys my car does look like a fiberfab.im having trouble uploading photos. im sure its simple, i just dont get it yet.
January 3, 2011 at 7:49 pm #243326January 3, 2011 at 8:30 pm #243327Took me a few tries too.
In fact, as I look at this, the button you need is not here. It’s a tree with an arrow next to it pointing up. Hope to see it back soon.
