Sweet. Is it a factory TD or a swap?

Either way, nice score

Before the more power addiction hits hard and you start dumping money into mods, I would suggest doing everything you can to save the body.  You can always swap turbo's or injectors, but body cancer will eat the car away faster then you will believe.

Great find.

"Making the jump NA to TD" slow but sure.

yeah i know, the majority of the rust is on the front fenders, barely any surface rust on the rear quarters. and then the small spots on roof/doors/ windshield area. either way im pleased. :)
