Subscribed. We go to a truck show in Branson. The good thing is there is something for the wife and kids to do. Meeting up at the go-kart track to swap some paint is an added bonus.
There was a post in the conversions section about a year ago where a guy built an ATV with a TDI and automatic. I figured I would try to find a whole wrecked car to start with.
I'm looking for a MKIV ALH automatic car that is cheap. Wrecked or dead is fine. Would like it to be w/i 300 miles of Dallas TX. Let me know what you have.
I have been running my ALH using a GM throttle body fuel pump and its factory bypass valve which ought to be about 14 lbs.

Great work! I keep pondering doing one, as if I need another project. Kind of leaning towards a TDI ATV right now.

What gears in the diffs?
The one on my wife's 03 Jetta started falling down and the foam turned into a semi liquid goo to the point it stained the fabric. I never found anything that would totally take the stain out. Black car in Texas heat will get to 160* plus in the summer.
I ran into a clearance issue and ended up removing the A/C mount and running the stock 2002 Ford Ranger 2.3L alternator. It is mounted to the original alternator top mount and had to be spaced between the outer mount with about 0.080 shim washer. The lower mount is a fabricated bracket off of...
