If it's not a secret, how did you pay?

Because I have similar to this one to buy, and I do not know how to offer him?

@bcovic7 i paid 400$ and it required quite a bit of body work , however after the body work was done it sold for 2000$ with no paint work done , pretty much as it sits in the video.

automatics are more collectable,but in no way practical.my friend has an automatic,he doesnt have issues yet,but it shifts hard and overrevs the engine.

@FlamingTightyWhiteis

tell your friend to check the vachuum lines to the transmission , get a vachuum pressure test done , these automatic transmission change gears by vachuum lines

very different but efficient and easy to fix , german engineering at its best

@Rollzdogg Ok. Thank's.

@Rollzdogg do an oil change.. that should be done all 45000miles..

[FlamingTightyWhiteis]

he wants it done,but there are cracked lines and a few lines gone altogether.he sent it to a shop but they didnt help much.could you make a video going over tranny lines so i can help him out? it would be greatly appreciated.im a bit car savvy so if i can help him with a classic,i will.

Change out that Auto to a nice manual, that slush box will leave you stranded even if you think its running good. Personal experience, and hell manuals are more fun anyways.

Nice video. Needs some TLC on the outside, but that you know of course. To me the engine sounds a bit weird. It should sound not so heavy and the diesel pump is too loud IMHO.

Good luck with the restoration.
