Found a Craiglisting that has possibilities for Ecomodding.
A 1980 VW pickup truck
http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/car/609336355.html
Engine is blown. Might make a good shell to convert to electric?
According to Wikipedia,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Caddy
It lists 1.5L diesel engine in 1980. Too bad the engine is blown. I would love to convert a VW pickup to veggie-oil!!!!!
Now I am not much of a mechanic BUT is there some chance that this "blown" engine might be not too difficult to fix? Isn't there a frost plug or something that is supposed to pop out if the engine freezes?
