We drive a car that runs on used vegetable oil and we built a straw bale house... we thought this might be a fun way to document our adventures and maybe, in turn, help others who decide to give it a go as well. Note: If you are interested in reading about the building of our straw bale house check out the blog archive (on the right side a little ways down) from 2008- when we began our research and 2009- when we actually constructed the house.

Here it is all new parts where necessary. Ready to be put back in the truck. Install took a few tries since I dropped it is from the top as apposed to hoisting the vehicle. Engine runs awesome, feels like a brand new truck. Shifting is perfect with no slop. A rebuilt engine of this quality with all German replacement parts goes for $1999.00 from Parts Place inc. in Michigan. That does not include a tranny or any other bolted on parts...just the head and the block. They are the leading VW parts supplier of anything and everything VW in the US.
