So I've been contemplating a new daily driver as I've been driving quite a bit more for work lately and fuel costs are owning me. Definitely wanting something turbo diesel powered with decent power that I could run on wvo, ideally something slightly more luxury and/or just plain really cool (gotta be worth doing), and ideally something fairly straightforward that can be done without having to take out a second mortgage on my house (read: cheaper the better- minimal machining required, etc). I have pretty extensive fabricating skills and resources, but like I said it's gotta be worth doing.
I was originally thinking something like a tdi swapped BMW E36 or E34, completely forgetting that tdi's are fwd and bimmers are rwd. I've considered an older 40's-50's car or truck with a turbo diesel V8 but something like that would be far less fuel efficient and thats an awful lot of mass to have to lug around as a dd.
thoughts?
