You and your diesels :laughing:

Nice find Curtis, I'd love to find something like that to run around in. Whatchya got planned for the motor?


Well you know it's got to be TURBOED & Intercooled if it's going to haul my butt around in it. The 1.7 L TD engine is new and setting in my shop now. Jerry and I are going to fit it with a lightened clutch and new CV axles as soon as I can get it over to his house. Since the five speed is almost new it stays. Looking for something that will accelerate well enough that I don't miss the 140 horse gas motor (much <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />). And,get all the mileage I can get out of it. (I'm shooting for 50 mpg) Best part, it will be capable of running on veggie oil if I want. Just like my Dodge tow rig.

Oh and lest I forget, we're going to try and fit it with rear disc brakes too. It will get a black out tint added to the glass for these Texas Summers.
