    Don't worry it's not like it can get any higher

    There are both short term and long term suspension plans already in motion. Any modification to B1 suspension bits takes a lot of measuring, sourcing and praying for parts that don't exist to appear, and a bit of welding...so I'll have to be patient.

      LOL...hopefully this one won't end up in a motel room!

        I was suspicious too, but look at the far right side of the ad: 130,000*

        Still not bad for a properly taken care of diesel from 1980. At a certain point in this project mileage may be irrelevant...

          Looks really high and dorky, can't wait to see this thing slammed onto ground.

          Cheap ain't badass, badass ain't cheap.

                  Haha I felt the same, but like I said before 13k or 130k...still a good deal on this vintage diesel motor. That motor may or may not be in the car much longer though!

                    I don't know why but I'm dying at the thought of this


                    OP, this is a cool little car. Might just be me that doesn't know, but what's that .. contraption on the spring? That bracket-looking thing?

                    Anyway, good luck. Can't wait to see what you do to it.

                      Not my doing, but I'm guessing some attempt at stiffening up the rear springs. Can't say it's doing much lol.

                            Finally got some time to get the rear bumper off to see what I'm working with in the back. There was a tow hitch ghetto rigged into the the bottom of the bumper...looks like whoever did it opened up the sheet metal, installed hardware, welded it back closed, and bolted it on (dry, no lube, almost broke myself getting it loose). They also blasted holes through the OEM clamp plate so that is relatively toast









                            Unfortunately, there are no bumper mounts of any sort like other MKI platform cars. Therefore the only shortened bumper options are to source the euro pieces of rubber and try to reuse the OEM clamps, or find MKI (or late Type 3 or 411/412?) small bumpers and weld them on.

                              Initial looks into the bay as she sits. 48 whole horses in there. Don't get scared.

                                Quick vacuum pump rebuild with a new diaphragm and hardware. Now I can drive without using the e-brake to stop...as much.
