Planning on getting my '83 J10 stepside on the road in a few months
with an SD33T drivetrain out of an '80 scout and '86 cj-10a...
so, giving thought to selling the TDI... (selling my '99 WJ, '75 J10 hydraulic dump trailer also)
keeping the '91 300D and the '83 J10 stepside... two vehicles, two drivers... both Diesels.
(turbo's too...)

The 2003 Jetta Wagon GLS - TDI has been gone through mechanically...
- intake/egr cleaned
- replaced glow plugs and harness and temp sensors
- swapped in 11mm Injection Pump (checked out by shop, new seals, sensors)
- rebuilt injectors
- amsoil synthetic oil
- new continental tires
- leather interior, heated seats
- new timing belt, water pump and rollers
- new brakes
- everything works - drives superbly... goes straight...
- has a rebuilt title and still needs $2k of body work to be perfect
- added air-lift air bags in back
- added receiver hitch
- has monsoon stereo
- has sunroof
- need to install the Panzer skid plate, need mounting hardware
- around 135,000 miles
If I keep it, I want to locate the following:
- stock fuel cap
- rear cargo cover
- front cover for tow hook
- front tow hook
I think what will finally make up my mind is the first accurate mileage reading after the 11mm pump conversion, it was
not a planned upgrade, it happened, and I'm not about to spend more money to put it back... it is VERY FAST right now... pulls relentlessly to redline... feels great... I'm not abusing the transmission... don't get on it until it's firmly in gear and moving...
