1982 Rabbit Pickup mTDI ALH/02J
Introduction:
My current DD is a 1996 Passat TDI. I have really fallen for that little diesel engine. Over 300k miles and still knocks down 45 mpg averages. Been driving it for 3+ years, but it lacks personally. I got this idea from a co-worker about swapping an early VW pickup. After doing research, it seemed fairly straightforward. So here we go....
I've been researching and planning since purchasing the truck in December 2016.
So follow along as I transform this truck from "Bill" (PO's name for the truck) to "Lille Skutt" (it's new name).
There will also be pictures posted on my Instagram: Stephen_Vehicle
The truck: 1982 VW Rabbit Pickup, 1.6 diesel with a broken timing belt and 4 speed 020
Slightly rough, but a good base platform with minimal rust
