Manual Trans.
Completely stock (NICE!)

1. New Ball joints
2. New R/H tie rod end
3. New wheel cylinders
4. New Calipers
5. New radiator
6. New M.S. Cyl.
7. New rear brake lines

The Bad (as of last month)
1.Rust
2. shift linkage is **cked
3. braked are soft (he told me this before I. err.... WE ... bought it)
4. Need a polishing and wax (I didn't know VAG painted cars w/ flat paint!

Ive fixed the all Bad except for the proportioning valve that is the source of the "soft" brakes.

First pic... Rusty


Sourced a used hatch from an Oklahoma car, the one that came with it was not salvageable but ... WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!! ( its same color) and went to work!


Still working:


Some POR- 15, Primer, Body Filler, Paint:



Caught a Rabbit, that needed help (Ironic!!)



Final Result... Molly polished the whole car herself, but I did some waxing and some basic instruction. It turned out great!.... As per (VW) usual... a work in progress!

What a neat result! Ah, but is it to early to ask how you attach the front plate.

I first read it as a GTI V8.

No its not to early. I'll use two of these- well nuts

EDIT:

Oh I also forgot to mention the goodies that came with the car:
Spare 8v engine
spare trans
2 rear tail lights
spare gauge cluster
1.8t cyl head from a Audi A4 with only 10,000 miles on it!! (that alone is worth more than what we paid for the car!!)
Extra set of camshafts for that head

An Audi car cover (for my VR)

You couldn't have too many spare parts.

Looks like GTI heaven...
