Only 1 test mile on this conversion BRAND NEW TURBO DIESEL CONVERSION......TEST DRIVEN ONLY.....$7500 reserve price (or make best offer) It is a 1.6 Jetta motor that has been completely rebuilt with all NEW internal parts The clutch assembly including the flywheel and starter are NEW All the mechanicals work as they should, I would not hesitate to drive it "cross country" but please consider that this is a 1982 model. .....it is 29 years old so it is going to have some issues somewhere......but right NOW it starts runs and drives excellent.....the tires are not weather checked or dry rotted or cracked, tread depth is at 50% on the front and 25% on the rear ...... the brakes stop in a straight line.....the vehicle drives smooth and does not pull to the right or left The paint is in excellent original shape.....It shines brilliant and glossy when lightly washed with a soapy washclothe.....waxing would make it shine and reflect like new.....YES! It does have a scrape and a small dent in the rear (drivers side) lift gate.....Once again let me remind you that it is 29 years old and it is the original paint. The inside front seats are in excellent tear free condition and have no visible wear pattern.....with the exception of a tiny 1/2 dime size split in the drivers head rest (bottom edge of seam) The carpets are in excellent condition.....front drivers side has some "flattening of the looping" but no worn thru spots.....the rubber mats are excellent. It is a manual transmission and shifts smoothly it all gears.....the outside of the trans case is covered in 29 years of hardened oil film/crust just as you would expect for a 29 year old vehicle.....it was not cleaned when the new motor was installed. There are very minor interior flaws.....most of which would just take spare time and a few dollars to fix The canvass top has an 8 inch cut that is in the extreme rear of the raised top lip, it is always covered so it is not really an issue. There is also an 1 & 1/2 crack above the front zippered opening where the top latch pinched it.....the material is not rotted or brittle and could be re-sewn The rust described in the lower body seam is "slight discoloration only"......there are NO rust holes anywhere on this vehicle. The paint scrape in the last picture is ONLY in the paint......it is a "scratch" and is not dented...... The worst dent in the whole vehicle is above the rear tail light on the driver side.....see pic #3 and #4 The engine has only 1 test mile on it .....the engine runs excellent but needs the "turbo" injection pump to produce the maximum power (right now it has the non-turbo injection pump on it. The "turbo" pump is included, but it is not installed yet).....all other mechanical items are in excellent condition, brakes, tires, steering, shocks....all excellent The body is very very nice with only dime size surface rust discoloration in bottom side skirting seam area....exterior in overall excellent condition with the exception of missing bumper guards.....the paint is excellent but does need a good wax job The windshield has a dime size circular crack that could be fixed/filled with a repair kit Interior in overall excellent condition with the exception of vinyl skin cover peeling off the side panels (this is an easy fix with "stick on" shelf paper of your choice) the top canvass is very strong and pliable (not brittle or old) ......has a tiny 1 inch tear at the front latch and an eight (8) inch split in the rear under the rear cap edge......that could be re-sewn.....does not need replacement This is an excellent project that is more than 95% finished.....just add your personal touches Please ask questions if any details are not clear to understand. Buy with confidence.....I have a 100% positive feedback here on e-bay
