It runs! Really well, actually.
1995 (ODB1) 2 door sport model Golf. This car is pretty much a GTI before there was a GTI, so it has:
2 litre ABA engine
5 speed transmission (worn bushings, kind of sloppy)
4 wheel disk brakes
plaid sport seats,
front and rear anti-sway bars
sunroof.
The car is chalky red. The clearcoat did the famous 90s peel and the car sat for a while in the sun. The paint is not all that great. It will need a respray to look anything approaching shiny.
No appreciable rust- NC car. The car is currently mostly stock.
I put in new control arms with poly bushings (yes, I know the Audi bushings are better), new stock suspension items (springs, mounts, shocks/struts) The replaced components have about 25 miles on them.
I also have some extras for it as well as follows:
spare .20 overbore engine block (work done at T. Hoff in Raleigh, NC) It's never been run, I have documentation.
Wiseco pistons to fit that block
Techtonics Tuning (factory) 268 cam
EPROM tuned for that cam
at least two, possibly three ODB1 heads for ABA engine
Exhaust header (needs to be welded where the wideband fitting cracked)
Everything needed to do a MKIV intake swap (upper manifold, valve cover, etc.)
stock 14" rims with OMG WHAT IS THIS BALD JUNK! tires on them
MkII GTI wheels with mismatched crappy tires but good center caps
I am willing to work one deal for the car plus another for the spares for $201x budgetary purposes.
The car and all of the extras are $1500 for GRM folks.
Price is firm. The car is also going on VWVortex and Craigslist at a higher price.
