Needs brakes & and suspension bushings. Have a VW 1.9turbodiesel going in, unless I can get a swap kit for a MB 5cyl diesel.
As for a classic, I'd be looking at MGBs, but hard to imagine what you'll find for <2k. |
Jake, how much is a turbo diesel and swap kit? My truck still runs strong with 190K on it, maybe I just need better mileage.
On your brakes, they're probably the same as my 95, if not, see if you can get 95 brakes. they are bigger than 993TT and stop the truck faster than any Porsche I've ever owned. I sometimes worry someone will rear-end me.
So far I've gutted the interior, painted the dash facia "stainless steel", dyed the dash and all vinyl black, put in a new instrument cluster window and various controls and made all the instrumentation lights red instead of the sickly green. Also put in an Irmscher (Momo) thick rimmed steering wheel which was probably the single greatest mod I've done so far. I drive this thing like my old 84 Targa!
hoping to bond on new rear quarters I got on eBay before winter, lay down some fatmat and then put the new carpet set in. Should be a brand new truck.
Some process pics.
