[Vwdiesel] vw wagon swap opinions

[raymond greeley]

I need a wagon for carrying smaller amounts of tools as an assist to a van i drive for my small business in home restoration.
My question is whether to explore the dasher version or the 91-97 passat chassis. i have always felt the dasher had bit morestorage capacity and was sturdier though most of my parts are transverse mounting. the passat could also be outfitted with someleather seating. the pickup just does not offer enough room or material protection. currently i am using a 91 jetta td with a chassis that is coming to the end of it's useful life though the drivetrain is complete and needs onlyminor attention and could swap in cleanly. that in mind, i am not sure how much time i have to do such a swap. that is the dilemma.
