Description: Diesel titled truck with a 1.8L gas engine (GX engine code) dual carburetor with custom intake manifold swap. This would be a perfect CA truck as the diesel title makes it smog exempt. The previous owner claimed the engine ran, but needed a fuel pump hooked up. I had intentions of swapping in a turbo diesel, so never pursued getting it running.
Modifications:
Dual carbs (Dellorto FRD 34b’s) and custom intake manifold. Looks like same setup here: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4202373-FS-dellorto-downdraft-carbs-custom-8v-intake (in fact I think this was the previous owner)
Single round headlight radiator support swap
Single wiper blade modification (scirrocco)
MK2 seats and belts installed
MK2 dash installed
ADR DTM 17″ rims
Prothane Steering rack bushings
Manual hood release
Chrome hood struts
Shaved fuel door
Flag mirrors
Power sunroof
Wing windows out of a cabby
Porsche metal door handles
Still Needs:
Running/Tuned (fuel pump, air filters, battery)
Windshield fluid reservoir hooked up
Proper wheel lugs
Interior completed (headliner, bulkhead, carpet)
Bodywork needs cleaned up as some is flaking off
Paintjob
Rearview mirror installed
Roof antennae drilled and installed
Front bumper shortened
Includes the tailgate, front and rear bumpers, door cards and sunvisors, rearview mirror, antennae, armrests, box of nuts/bolts/wiring/parts, spare passenger door and spare transmission.
