Picked up a 1.6 NA with a FN 5 speed transmission w/all linkages complete with injection pump, intake and exhaust manifolds, alternator and ac compressor for $227. The car had a blown headgasket at some point so the cylinders were a little rusted from antifreeze. The transmission shifts as smooth as butter.

I'm still waiting on full details, but the mechanic that did the alignment on my Outback heard me say I usually drive my VW diesel. He asked me if I would be interested in one. He said he fixed it for someone years ago and they never paid. It has been sitting for 3-4 years in his backyard junkyard and doesn't run now. Body supposedly is in good shape. No rust. He said it is a Jetta but not sure of the year. He wants $300 for it so that he doesn't have to take it to the crusher. Maybe a junkyard find

No rust......I'd be all over that. I'm more of a hatchback guy but any vw diesel without rust would be nice.

Yes, same here on the hatchback over the trunk! We are lucky here in the south--No road salt. They don't start salting the roads until you get into North Carolina, and that is minimal compared to northern states. Of course it is extremely hard to find the turbo 1.6's that are common in Canada, down here.

My friend didn't have any problems at all. Of course he was just bringing a longblock back for me. He claimed used auto parts at the border, they gave it a glance and let him right through. Probably not as easy for a whole car.

Does CraigsList count?
Just got a COMPLETE brown interior for a Mk2
(Brown is difficult to find in good condition, as everyone throws it away when they find a black set)..
Door cards, Knee bar, Door handles & cranks, sun visors, rear seat, center console, etc...
from an 85k mile garage queen!
CL ad said free interior for a Mk2,
so I figured it was likely shot, but took the drive because it was brown.
Turns out it was PERFECT and beautiful.
It will be quite the compliment to my Sahara Beige..
First things first, though:
Gotta make some new Vapor Barriers so the new cards do not suffer the same fate as the old ones!
