I have a 1980 VW Pickup thats coming out of the paint shop now.  I will send
some photos when I get it done.

I am ansious to see your guys conversions.  I have located a 1981 VW Pickup
that I think I can get cheap, straigh body and good interior with a blow
head gasket on the diesel motor.  I would like to do a higher voltage system
so this looks like my opportunity to do a new one from the ground up.

Your Kostov at 240V ought to make a rocket ship out of that thing.

Have fun.
