That's it.
VWB made and sold VW Fox (Voyage in Brazil) and Fox Wagon (Parati here).
My father have a Parati CL 92', but it's not poor like his Fox...
120.000km. It's like a brand new. I love that Volks (with Ford/Renault powertrain).

Just to complete the info, Volks Parati (the origin of the name is a city and a beach that have the same name) was only made in this generation as 3 door station. The 5 door version came in 97' in the AB9 generation, that started at 96'.
Sorry, i am not a great english speaker (writer here) but i think that I transmited well the information.

The rear beam only goes so far up then it hits the under side of the car. looked at notching the unibody. made some drop plates
