That is a heck of a deal on the trans alone! I'm going to be selling my other mTDI build here...and I know I can't sell my CTN for that low! Wowsers! Suprised someone hasn't picked this up yet!
GLWS.

getting the CTN trans shipped to where i live would probably cost $200+... still a very tantalizing deal though
how many km's on it?
Check with R&L trucking. If they are in your area. I've used them before to ship a 02A from St. Louis to Va. $100
bump!
Also, transmission tentatively sold. I just gotta make a box (tomorrow) :x

hey, if you dont sell this thing by september.. ill buy it. cash money. and im close, i live about 80 miles west of portland. but the only catch is, im gonna be in alaska for a while working.
Was the guy who did the head Franko6? Thats guy does nice work.
How hard would it be to install this engine into a MK1 body. My '80 rabbit is in need of a new engine. Are the engine mounts way off or are there adapters out there? And I guess the trans mounts too, what is offered out there.
@ subsonic: yeah, that guy, it's a beautiful piece of work, excellent workmanship.
@ bugnut: If you have to ask about whether it will install into a mk1, then the mechanical TDI will probably be over your head. It's not a simple plug and play engine, takes a LOT of tinkering and understanding of how the diesel works, specifically TDIs and how Bosch injection pumps work, but yes, it will bolt into a mk1, it's a VW diesel, things only changed when the mk4 came out.
