Surprisingly no, this model engine was made from 1975-1992 and some of the parts were used up to 2000. It is refreshing to be able to be able to find parts easily- When I did the Yugo, parts were way harder to find.
No, sadly nearly all have gone to the crusher. The good news is there is a fellow vintage air and water cooled guy that lives about 30 minutes from me and we sometimes swap cars and parts. Nice guy too!
That engine looks solid internally. It will be a nice upgrade for the truck once you've got it set up.
Thanks for bringing us along!
You're welcome- I hope it can bring some inspiration to others. Maybe someone will feel like they can do something like this
I wouldn’t mind an unedited long form video. It’s good to keep on in background and I learn a little more.
When the entire build is done, I'll put the whole thing out as once long build video. Cool Idea!
👍
Thanks
Are parts hard to find for VW engines?

You still have rabbits in the junk yard down there?
