Where would be the best place to look for an early 90's/late 80's 16 valve GTI. My bro had one when I was real young and I loved that thing. I'm willing to pay good money for a close to original in good shape but have no clue where to start.

Good luck finding one in original/good shape. by now they are either old and beat on or highly modified, often with engine transplants.
Might also find some on

in the watercooled group there.
*sigh* a friend of mine just sold my old car ('88 GTI) for $500 in Baltimore, it was 100% original except for the stereo and just needed paint (not bad but chalky and impossible to "rub out"), a headliner, and some TLC. I think the main issues with it were nonfunctional A/C and a sloppy shifter. I would have bought it back but I need it like I need a hole in my head. Had a *lot* of new parts on it when I sold it to her 5 yrs. ago too.
Might also want to try the Vortex; I don't really follow it so I don't know if it's been taken over by the "tuners" or not but it used to be a good place to find stuff like that.
