I believe, but sure, that you make 2 L-Bracket that mount to the 2 lower bolts on the the front end. & attach the tow bar to that.
Harbor Fright make s a univ. tow bar bar you could us or bent up some 1 1/2" tubing to a tow hitch.

Hi Guys
have not been on for quite a bit, but noticed this situation.
I had a tow problem with my GTII and Eric Rodemeyer had modified a VW tow bar for his Turbine Bradley GT Build. I had a tow bar and followed his drawing to build one - and it worked for the GTII also. ;D
Here is a repost of his drawing

Best to all

Glenn

Go ahead and post your message, then go back and modify it. When you modify it you will get all the controls you need to set you post up.

In your entry box -- high light the URL address in your message then click the URL button (second row 3 button)
Which should place the and around your link.

Such as --
www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=830350
www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=830350

I placed a space inside the brackets so the statement would not activate. And the second one does not have the spaces.
