DIESEL RIDES

1979 Mercedes 300SD


1985 VW Golf Diesel 1979 Mercedes Benz 300SD

My first entry into diesel transportation is the 1985 VW 1.6L Golf. The link chronicles "The Ugly Duckling" as my wife affectionately calls it. I'm going to have to tear the engine apart again and see if I can rebuild it.  It's served me well for over 175k miles and 13 years (it has over 284k on the clock).

The 1979 300 SD has been nicknamed "The Swan", for obvious reasons.  I picked this up in the  summer of 2013 from a guy who wanted to keep it but didn't really know how to maintain it.  

Feel free to contact me.
