For 15 years, I've maintained my '01 Jetta ALH and '04 Golf PD, in large part to this site's forums, members, and vendors.
Being located in New England, the winter's salt (against my garageless TDIs) is rusting away my cars' bodies.
So I spent time thinking about a TDI engine swap, say to a Jeep Cherokee, 4Runner, or Nissan Xterra.
However, finding the right host vehicle is tough, as I think I need model year 1999-2000 w/manual transmission, and low rust.
What are you folks considering doing with your up-in-the-years MK4 TDIs?
Selling and moving on? If so, on to what, that has similar torque / fuel economy?
or continued investment, say bodywork, new paint, seats, ...?
Thanks,
Glenn
