Solid Body- Zero Rust on 99.8% of the car. Tiny rust spots at the bottom of one door. I sprayed them with rust convertor when I got the car 5 years ago and they haven't changed. Some rust was under the battery, but sprayed with rust convertor and is solid.
True TD engine that was bored out to second oversize and fitted with All German top notch parts. Crank was polished. Block was cleaned and painted.
Engine has new glow plugs and injectors along with a "pimp your glow plug setup" that makes the glow plugs work much better.

Driven over 6months/ 5,000 miles on the engine rebuild
Interior of car is decent. No cracks in the dash and headliner has a few, but is useable.
Decent tires and brakes.
This car was my daily driver until the clutch issues derailed me.
The Bad: Something is wrong with the clutch. Possibly the throwout bearing is bad. I can not shift into gear when the car is running.
The oil pan is missing 2-3 bolts that need to be tapped out and rethreaded.
There is a moderate oil leak that appears to be coming from the oil pan.
It has also been mentioned to me that the rear main seal may not have seated properly causing the oil leak and also possibly contributing to the clutch issue.
Due to the clutch issues, the car must be towed. I considered taking off the transmission and fixing the problems myself, but due to working 3 jobs, I don't have the time to do it. It may be a very easy fix, or it may require the tranny to be pulled and the throwout bearing replaced. Still an awesome, very rare in the states engine, that runs great, with a TD injection pump that is purring away.
Seeking $2,000
Pollen covered car pics below on my Flickr account. I also have a movie of car starting cold, but not able to u/l it right now due to lack of bandwidth
