Seller Write-Up
1982 na Diesel Rabbit pickup truck that I believe is the Sportruck trim level with 5 speed manual trans and factory A/C (currently inop but everything is there and hooked up.) Recently replaced timing belt with Gates belt and tensioner and a new billet intermediate shaft pulley as well as a reman fuel injection pump and injector return lines. Front pads and rotors done around 200 miles ago as well as a full brake fluid flush. The truck runs and rides great and the automatic electric cooling fan functions perfect. I have been commuting daily so mileage will go up.
Has a decent aftermarket paint job and very minimal rust. The bed is bed lined. The floor pan is in great shape.
Comes with a black carpet kit and new lower control arms.
The HVAC blower fan is not working but the vent and temp controls are. Comes with two 1.5l parts engines and other engine parts including the original injection pump that needs a reseal. Has salvage title due to being in a flood in the past.
