Yeah, but you need a rear locker to get it there.  ;)

I picked it up in November. I put a decoupler in it to get better milage, but when I only get 17 mpg at best, you gotta try anything.
Man I love this thing.

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

It was a great time. Lots of cool rigs. I'll be there next year again.

I do have to say that the stable is growing. I can't help it. They're not VW's but German and diesel.
This was the deal of the year. You'd have to be nuts to pass these up for the price I got them for. The P.O. had more than $20K into them and has done nothing to them since he bought them a year ago.

The plan is to get them home to figure out what to do with them. Whether or not part them out or put one together and scrap/sell whats left. So if anyone out there has any parts they need for a '86 Unimog 419 SEE. Hit me up.

I see some zombie vehicle projects right there. You are too far away for me to actually look into these. I would probably go for something a bit more popular for ease of getting parts, but those do look cool. Awesome find.
