Re: 1950? S-10 tdi

Way to go! You've built something very unique, very cool,
You're going to love driving that rig, puff your chest out a little and give yourself a pat on the back! Nice job!

Re: 1950? S-10 tdi

VW (and the State of CA) basically forced up to surrender our 2012 Passat TDI; When i see these conversions i wonder if one could be the engine from ours. When i think back about it the engine (55mpg!!) was the best part of that car.

Ya everyone up here that qualified for the buy back had there choice usually made lots of $$$ my brother kept his 2010 because he loved it, this motor was not part of the recall.
