Rust repair Q's (redux)

[byoshida@zygote.hsc.usc.edu (Benton Yoshida)]

Hey! I need some answers.  Is everybody just ignoring me?  Not even a
snappy remark from Shawn?  Just so this isn't a total rehash, I noticed
that the lights on the later Vanagons look a lot like the Euro,
non-symmetrical lights for the MK 2 Sciroccos.  If they fit, they gotta be
a lot cheaper (junked) than new ones.

                        just wondering, benton------
