Interior seats, carpet and head liner are in very good condition. Dashboard has cracked plastic. Some plastic side panels in cargo area cracked.
Exterior has some body dings that could be fixed with Fibreglass.
Engine has been rebuilt and functions very well. Head has been refurbished including having the valves redone. Has 1986 Audi engine cooling system installed (better cooling). New Timing Belt & Battery. I put over 4000 miles on the car after the engine rebuild.
I am selling because I purchased another car and this VW can not pass 2004 California smog laws (Nox somewhat over limits - rest OK), apparently because the engine was not designed for much more stringent 2004 laws. I have not had it professionally analyzed to determine what things could be done, beyond what I did.
2005 California Registration Fees paid through August 2005
