PROJECTS

1990 Toyota 4runner
- VW Diesel swap - using Acme Adapter components - coming soon!
- Veggie conversion - coming right after the dieselicious swap

1999 Mercedes E300D
- Two-tank vegetable oil conversion
The mighty Mercedes om606 diesel engine, known for finicky fuel sytems and dastardy seized glowplugs... a very complex and challenging conversion. Why bother? Dual overhead cams, crossflow heads, 4 valves per cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled. Possibly the best sounding diesel ever made.

1987 Suzuki Samurai
VW diesel swap: Musty, gusty and rusty meets diesel dork dependability.
Veggie conversion: Goes like stink, and stinks.

1996 VW Regret-a-Jetta: Project "keep it alive as long as we're making payments" (failed)
Some highlights of ownership:
Reverse gear replacement & swearing contest
Turbocharger is shot
Goodbye, you hateful wench!
