Subject:Frydae NVC: Diesel Rabbits

Today I was thinking about the old diesel rabbits from the early '80's.
Does anyone recall which engine came stock in the car; was it a 1.6 NA or 1.6 TD?
Would it be difficult to convert to a 1.9 TD?
Are they a headache to maintain? �My gut reaction is�it would be a trouble free�vehicle, IF set-up properly at the start.
I had a couple of gas rabbits back in the day, that I enjoyed very much, and thought a well maintained diesel version might be an economical car for teenagers to drive, with little means of driving too fast or otherwise dangerously.�
Appreciate any opinions and experiences rendered.
Cheers, Anthony'89 Syncro GL (Hidalgo)
