Check out Jack's website.  There are a couple different diesel forums
there.

Darnit, folks, this Diesel Westy, just sittin' there, is haunting my
dreams.
  I drive by it even when it's not on the way home.

I have that sick feeling in my stomach like I'm going to make an offer
as
soon as Denver thaws out a little...

And, I'm bored at work, and furthermore, I know absolutely nothing about
diesels.

How involved is the motor?  I've rebuilt 1.6 and 1.8 inline four VW gas
engines before.  The 1.6  diesel is similar?  I know that there's a
Yahoo
Diesel group, I think, but Yahoo Groups are blocked here at work...

I'm following Ben's body restoration very closely.  Not that I'm
necessarily
willing to take on this work, but it's nice to know what's involved if I
can
find an inexpensive body man.

Joe T., looking for another insurmountable challenge...
