I gotcha m'self a new project!

A 1989, Volvo 760 Turbo Diesel Intercooler- Manual

It had 470,000 kms on the odo, and i bought it because it was a semi-ok steal.

The plan is to reregister it to a van by removing the rear seats in order to have a hugely smaller diesel tax (now its about 700usd a year, vs it will be 400usd or so after reregistration)

later it's Volkswagen straight-six turbo intercooled ICE will be swapped for some weird audi 5-pot diesel... some say for economy, some say for 50% increase in horsepower
