Originally, I wanted to do a toyota 4x4 truck but i never got around to it. Just bought a 95 VR6 that will eventually get a mTDI swap but I already have the mtdi pump that i bought from another member here and also i have a mechanical setup VNT20 done by Tintin. Engine block and head is sitting at rebuilder and it's from a 97 Passat tdi.
i'm suprised that allready has rust on the rear hatch looks more like ocean rott!
when i lived out in calif the cars near the ocean rusted from the top down! then here in wisconsin they rust from the bottom up! witch TDI motor are ya gonna use?
I expected it to be worst when i went to look at it. It does not seem that bad with the rust.
In any case, i got it for less than 1k
with some clutch or slave cylinder problem. The clutch pedal does not release back up when depressed sometimes. Right now, i just want to stuff that tdi in it and slowly get going to make it look better.
Quick updates: 1) I have included some progress pics.
2) Also, i am doing a full electronics instead of the mtdi. I will save the pump for a sidekick conversion or something else. I ended up getting a 98 jetta tdi part car and that's why i want to go electronics.

Yeah, it's running but the check engine light on, runs rough and smokes cold (code 01050? glow plug monitoring) but glow plugs ohm check good.
Any help would be appreciated?
ill help you out by telling you to rip that VR6 symbol out of the grill and running over it a few times :twisted:
I will do just that. I want a badgeless grill and the votex dual lights.
