Greetings from Norway 69° north, i have been reading the forum for a while, but i have for a long time liked diesel engines (and 5cylinder petrols)
the first d24t car i owned was an 87? 740 sedan that car was just a platform for a bilcross (low budget rallycross) car to get an audi 5cyl petol and rwd, fantasticly fun car on the track
heres a video for those liking petrol sounds

cuple of years i got a friend of mine to get an 740 wagon d24t and that realy got me wanting one

but jumping from that and straight over to my curent roadcar an 86 740 wagon d24 na m47 and original lsd =)

That's a good looking exterior! And you'll have plenty of spare engine parts from the original engine. It looks like you know what you're doing with vehicles and I would love to have that big of a shop. Welcome to the board from another new guy.

Welcome to the board! That's quite a collection of vehicles, enough to cause envy for those of us on this continent that can't get many of them...

Are you keeping the LT van, or is it just an engine donor for the Volvo?

A2 Jetta coupes have always looked great to me, would be fun to put a TDI into one of those.... Was that drag racing on *ice* with the 343 vs the 911?? :D
