I have been planning this project for awhile now and I'm finally starting to get the parts together. This will be my place to post my progress ask questions and display picturres I may snap along the way. My goal for this car is a long haul car for doing cross country driving loaded up with a top cap for cargo and the back end setup with a mattress for sleeping.
Here's a list of what a plan on putting in the car..
1z motor out of 96 passat with libbydiesel mtdi pump
02a ctn tdi trans $550 3.15 r&p. .75 but I plan on using a. 68 if I can get one.
might go with a corado clutch
Here are some pics of the motor 230,xxx well maintained southern motor $1000

they are but I'm buying the car empty with no engine or transmission parts. cable clutch more reliable to me.

You know what to get for the cable conversion? I have all the parts and can give you the PN's. Also, the cable is NLA, so use a 1991 CRX cable; I know it's long but you can loop it around the engine bay a bit.
EDIT: The cable was advised for putting an 02A into a MK1, but it might still work which is why I suggested it.

It might be an idea to block off the EGR pipe now. Even with the engine being low miles you could pull the inlet manifold and check for crud build up in the ports. It's far easier to clean out any build up with the engine on the floor than it is when the engine is in the bay.
The 02A cable clutch conversion parts will be more expensive than finding a decent slave cylinder and pipework. The hydro clutch setups are really not that unreliable. Is the pedal box still fitted to the car with clutch master cylinder?

if he no take pedals.. keep hydro... the lines between master and slave is 6mm brake line.. can build your own if you had too.. a 6mm flex line, 2 pieces of preflared steel lines.. bolt together.. done... how i extended my hydro line stuff in the kubvan...
glad on 02a...
think of intercooler where at... tons of room under hood.. but front air.. not so much...

That might be a project for a later date. A/c isn't super important but not way id voluntarily go back to belts to have it.
Im dead set on doing the tdi i have a 600 deposit on the motor picking it up monday.
