[Vwdiesel] 82 Jetta GTD

[Ralph Meyermann]

Sounds very tempting!!! If I wasn't pouring $$$ into my 1.9 aaz  82 Westy.
Kolbenschmidt pistons $549.00and other quality parts ,seals adding up to
over a grand with the machine shop showing me that my head is cracked as
well. Someone will have a nice ride, hope they care for it!!
