My past Diesel VW's

I thought I would post some pictures of my past Diesel VW cars and trucks. First off is the 1982 Pickup that I bought from my brother. We had put a pre 1981 rebuilt 1.5 liter diesel in this truck but later found all of the head gasket issues that the 1.5 liter diesels had as well as oil return issue. All of these issues were corrected in mid-81 on the 1.6 liter when Torque to yield bolts were added to them as well as a larger oil return.

The next VW diesel I bought was a $500 2 door German built rabbit that I found on craigslist, when I went to go look at this car it actually turns out that I knew the guy that owned it and he was very happy that I was the one that was buying this car from him. The Motor in this car was built by Dan Hall automotive in Portland, OR that normally build race motors. I drove this car an hour each way to and from college for my final year, and this motor is now currently in my 1981 rabbit truck. I wish I had some pictures of this car before I took the motor out for my truck.

In 2007 I found my wife a wonderful 2001 Beetle TDI with Leather that she absolutely loved, but shortly after we found out that my wife was pregnant with our second child so the Beetle wasn't going to cut it size wise for her. This was a very nice car though, and we really enjoyed driving it while we had it. Mabye
someday we will buy another when car seats are out of the picture.
