these are the rims it is being sold with, and the exhaust is now a hideaway style exhaust. throw some porsche rims on it and it could be a german looker pretty easily as seen here:

I have 2 project bugs and no time to work on either ( I'm currently working on startup business and have been back on the east coast for the past 10 months) so as much as I hate to part with one of my VWs I need to do it. ASAP! I've done 3/4 of the work I planned to do on this car but I don't have the time or proximity to finish it right now. The car has been sitting since November 2003 waiting for me to work on it I am way too busy right now to finish it though.



About the car:



- Sliding Steel Sunroof



- Located in Pleasant Hill, California.



-It's been sitting for past 10 months so you might want to flush the fluids in it and recharge the battery.



- Lowered front (adjust a struts) uerethane bushings



- strut tower brace



- lowered slightly in rear



- KYB shocks



- Fiberglass Fenders wider than stock fenders



- 2 spoke Porsche Steering Wheel



- H4 Converted Halogen Autopal Headlights



- Shaved Turn Signals relocated in euro bumper



- Smoked Tail Lenses



- Fuba Roof Mounted Antenna



- Front Seats good condition



- Polar Silver Frost Paint (2 years ago) Still looks new, inside painted but not inside of trunk or underside of decklid



- Electric pump winshield washer pump (converted from scirroco)



- Currently has stock 34 Pict/3 carb modified to work with 009



- 009 Distributor



- Merged hide out exhaust



- Tiger CDI ignition



- 1600 engine



- chrome wider than stock rims with wolfsburg nipple hubcaps



What it needs but I didn't finish:



- Engine Rebuild. Has low compression. Unknown mileage as odometer broke. I imagine anyone with a little knowledge of VWs could get it running again without too much work or expense.



- Headliner, back seat cover



- Radio, currently has none.



- I patched the floor board rust, in an ideal world I would have replaced them but at the time I just wanted to keep the elements out, wasn't going for show car quality.



- I had some porsche rims on it (was going for the german look), but I am selling them seperately.



BEST OFFER TAKES IT. Repeat BEST OFFER TAKES IT! It has to go.



I can't store it any longer and getting rid of it ASAP is what I need to do. Buyer has to arrange for pickup/tow/shipping. If you are local to the Bay Area and want to swing by and take a look at it that can be arranged, it's stored at my business partner's house right now and all I have to do is pick up the phone for him to be available. Looking for a quick sale. With it currently not running I know I won't get out of it what I put into it so my sacrifice can be your gain. At this point just want it to go to a good home and someone who can pick up where I left off on this project.



PS: Might be interested in trades for running engines as my other project needs engine work as well. So that is an option I would consider. So let's make a deal. Let my loss be your gain.
