Kim,
Here are some links to the RIOT.
This is the original manufacturer of the kit car.
Thunder Ranch Riot

Do you think that $2,000 is a fair price for a used VW 1.9 TDI and if the tranny is unusable for a Metro application, I wonder how much of the $2,000 could be recouped by selling off the tranny? Maybe a couple hundred dollars could be recouped. Would the VW ECM be needed for such an engine swap?
