86 red cabriolet, new top, alternator and starter, clutch, brakes (master cylinder, lines, rotors, pads, drums-rear bearings, cylinders, shoes and e-brake cables), new fuel sending unit and transfer pump, 2.5" straight exhaust. Newer tires. 1.6turbodiesel engine has 77,000kilometers on it, car has 144,000km.

I am wondering if this cabby has sold?

I am also wondering what issues if any you and/or your Wife ran into with fumes, noise while the top was down?

I am not trying to flame this thread, I believe these to be valid seller/buyer questions.

Thanks!

I just took one apart that had that swap it was awesome the owner and his wife loved it..fumes weren't a problem and it was turbo diesel so exhaust was quiet or sounded cool ie turbo..the body was rotten on it onlt reason he stopped using it..liek i said he loved it for 4 yras or so..so a convertiable diesel shouldn't be a issue i know in europe they have a cabrio td and tdi available.
later

run veg oil if the fumes are an issue. you can get them to quiet down a little... i don't think the noise should be an issue either. cool car.
