1981 VW Rabbit Pickup (Caddy) Turbo Diesel Engine Swap 3

1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup (caddy) Engine Swap. Pulled out the naturally aspirated 1.6 diesel and put in a turbocharged 1.6 out of Germany from qualitygermanautoparts.com. Finally have the engine swapped out and the intercooler system fabricated and installed. Now just need to add fluids and start her up!
