Project complete: 87 Cabriolet 1.6 NA diesel

[overdrivegear]

Finished my 87 Diesel Cabriolet project.  1.6 NA (Sorry turbo guys, this car is a cruiser) ME hydraulic head from 86 Jetta, Giles pump is awesome, 135 bar injectors, AGS transmission w/ 0.71 fifth gear.  Very entertaining pulling up to a light and the strange looks like, "Man, something's wrong with your engine!"

Enjoy videos:
(excuse the pollen on the body and interior.  It gets rough here in the deep southern USA)
