That was fucking embarrassing. I’ve grossed out with the invacation has plugged a sponsor name-but a political statement? And saying guns made the country great? God-the military-the drivers + crews + “my smoking hot wife” are the only allowable people to mention.

This truck (I think) was for sale last year on BaT. It was in Ct. Think it went pretty cheap too.

1: Its turbo’d. (notice where the exhaust exits)

Its called two fingers on your clutch hand.

Audi forum.

Wheres the dash bar? And show all the trimming it takes to fit it behind a dash-and try to keep as much of the vents + heat as you can. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t “squint weld” more than once when tacking.

If it was a diesel W123 Benz it would still run.

He was a customer at an auto machine shop I worked at. Super interesting guy.

Guess you just have to build your own.

Right. If you don’t want a grill, don’t mold the front end so it looks like there should be one there.

I’m on your side Eighty. You get it or you don’t. I had to replace my MkII in a hurry-a TDI was the obvious choice. All I found on CL in a 2 hour range had 300k on them. I found a 97 MB e300 diesel at a price I couldn’t say no to as a hold over.

It won’t do those big structural rivets. I have one-works ok if you have the room. Good for 1/8" + 3/16" rivets.

No plans to go with a PD. 99-03 only. I’m not new to the game. I have over 250k miles on 2 veg powered cars over 10 years. (and a veggie fueled furnace in the garage.) Also built a couple more for other. Yes-done wrong you can screw things up-but I can say the same thing about turbos. I saw someone put a turbo on…

The problem is I live in New England. Any native ones are complete rot outs. I went to look at one for $2000-and before I got within 50 ft of it, I could see the bottom of the passenger seat—from the drivers side!

That was the original plan before I found this kit. (I’m coming off a Mk11 that I had to retire at 410k miles.) Price would be about the same-but the Mk4 has more legroom and better handling.

He’s from Vermont. Its got to be a Subaru. Its the law.

You saved me a bunch of typing-exactly this. Props for keeping the place so clean and organized.

This WILL be my next car. I found out about these about 3 months ago. Already in the planning stage. And most importiantly, got the wife’s ok.

Ok-heres another outcome. You keep it. You drive it a 1000 miles the first year after you get the new car. Only 400 the next year. The batteries dead the next time you go to start it. It sits a year un-used. You start to notice rust forming around the wheel arches. ( I know you kept it nice-but it IS a Subaru.) A kid…
