Sadly, it's time to say goodbye to my friend. This 12/79 VW Pickup was one of the first off the factory floor and somehow, it's survived trend after trend, and year after year. I bought it in mid 2018 on the west coast, drove it home, and then spend the next 6 months overhauling the wiring and suspension. After driving it for a year as a daily, I decided to upgrade the engine and transmission to add some pep without damaging the value of the car. To that end I built a 1.8L JH code engine adding a G-grind cam and a 4 into 2 header. The transmission is out of a later 1986 convertible and has a nice tall 5th gear for highway driving and better fuel milage. I've put nearly 20K on the car these past few years and daily drive it, but it's time for a lager truck. It also comes with the original rims and a set of "Off Road Tires".
