Hi VW diesel fans I have built a small pickup out of a '91 diesel Jetta, a wooden body similar to an old Radio Flyer wagon sticking out the trunk, with a rack at the back end which lines up with two roof racks so I can carry lonfg stuff on top. It is getting about 35 MPG, not as good as the Jetta before but way better than anything new I could buy. This new truck replaces my old VW pickup which gave me 13 years of service for $1500, the new one also is way more comfy and has four doors with some tool shelves where the rear seat used to be for extra "indoor" storage etc. If anyone wants pictures or more info I can send them but I won't include them here unless everyone wants to see the little beast. Good luck and VW trucks rattle for a new generation.
