Congrats on the sales picking up so quickly. Hopefully we'll be able to work out something to get them listed on the site soon.

I can say that you're part of the inspiration for me as well, Ben. I'm just at a temporary standstill due to parts being out of stock, and money being 'out of stock' as well. 
But hey, I've got everything else lined up. Uncle is giving me/us a 97 Jetta to convert, says we can cut any adapters/brackets there at his machine shop with the plasma cutter and milling machines; he's also willing to help us source an electric forklift from a big equipment sale like he goes to pretty often! |

That's the DVD I wanna watch, I have always had a love for 1st gen S-10's. Putting a baby turbo diesel in one would have to be insane fun and practical. Great fuel economy, great torque, reliability, possible Bio-diesel conversion.

oh my gawd, is that real? I thought I knew a lot about S10's but I had no idea there was ever a factory diesel in one.
