(A basic 1981 VW with manual, rack & pinion steering and power brakes. A little bit of history: I originally bought this vehicle about a year ago to tow behind a motorhome and I put a lot work and money into it to fix it up but, now; the motor home is being sold so I no longer have a need for this pickup which is an excellent asset for a full restoration or just a good runner diesel vehicle which is the ultimate in reliability with a mechanical fuel system, manual transmission and no fancy electronic controls. Is a perfect candidate for bio-diesel fuels. Upgrade to go from a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine to a newer 1.9L turbo charged engine.
