Re: installing jetta rear handles on rocco

["Chris Chemidlin" <spredhaus@hotmail.com>]

Im just guessing, but couldn't you use the rear, lockless handles off a 
rabbit or JettaI?

Mr. Bastard-
Tell me about yer big bumpers on the Jetta. Do they fit OK? Are there 
gaps? Are you running fender flares? Did you mount them on the stock 
Jetta bumper? Inquiring minds want to know....
