hi there..
closest I have is a core stock 82 'DZ' code transaxle..
I also like it around to mock something up if I need too.
'for parts' let's say .....wouldn't want to much for it.
Located 24 miles from the Ca border in Southern Oregon.

whatiya think you'll be asking on the 82 5 speed 1.6 TD ?
I have one for sale for sure ..
and its' a Sunroof Model.

and you could/should do a DK ..not the stock DZ.
if you find a rare DM ..
that is slightly better than a DZ.
Wish I had one in my super cherry 82 Sunroof DV with rebuilt engine
..that's for sale.
it's on the samba....two tone yellow.
daily driver, sips fuel around town. Drives and looks like it's a couple
of years old.

post the link to your ad when you get it up.
thanks.
