FYI...
About 3 years ago, I flipped a '94 Passat VR6. Paid $200. BP saw it when he was at Classic VW... It had 160k, and knocked when first started. Needed half-shafts too. It cleaned up real nice, and got $1700 for it. It wasn't a bad driver.

The car Dave's talking about is a southern body 89 GTI with a corrado VR6 transplanted into it. I'll give more details and will probably start a project thread when I finally get restarted on it (I have no garage right now, I live in an apartment). MKII's (1985 ~ 1992) only had 1.8L and 2.0L four bangers in them..so with a 2.8 V6, the car does O.K in the acceleration department, nothing like the cars you guys have but will still get the blood flowing.

So which pic is newer?
Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2008 7:01 pm
The bottom picture is. I don't know why the color is different in the photos . The color is Audi TT Nimbus grey (Dupont chroma base) it has a nice pearl effect that the pictures don't show.

I like the color selection. It makes the car look a lot newer than it is. What's funny is VW hasn't changed the basic style of that car since the we saw the Rabbit in the late 70's. I can't remember when the first Rabbit was made, was it '76?

Thankyou. The MkI Golf started in '74 (Rabbit in N.A.) but You might be correct about the '76 debut in the states, I'm not sureI like the color selection. It makes the car look a lot newer than it is.
