FS: 1982 Rabbit Diesel LS (L.A.,CA) Not running.

[cleoo]

I bought this from the previous owner thinking that I could get it to work.
That hasn't been the case.

I'd like this out of its storage location.

The previous owner told me that it ran before it had electrical problems.

Details:
-clean DIESEL title...not registered in years
-Not running, wiring harness burned and shorted, but I connected a battery and although the car didn't start, the radio worked and the lights worked...some bit of life
-1.6 diesel motor with injection pump
-5 speed transmission
-emergency brake inoperative
-missing door panels
-body has very little rust, most noticeable area is the rear hatch
-no power steering pump
-no rear seat or deck

Not parting out. Please take it all.

$400 obo.

What electrical problem. These cars have next to no electrics. 12V to fuel solenoid, starter and glow plug relay...

The wiring harness from the fusebox to the engine was fried.
The previous owner made a makeshift wiring harness from the fusebox to the engine. That failed too.
