Hello all the veedubbers out there. Well, for about 2 years now, I have considered myself a dubber, but, due to a lack of funds, or poor judgement rather, I was never able to bye my VW. Today, on May 31st, my journey begins toward the 91 GTI VR6 beast. I have already paid a deposit on a 94 VR6 engine, and soon I will begin preparing the engine and the car for the swap...
It is a 1991 GTI, 8 valve engine, little to no rust (a few dings maybe the size of a pea). It has a shaved hatch, single round grille (with a badge, but, soon to be badgeless )
She runs pretty smooth, a little bit of an idle issue, and what sounds like an exhaust leak, but that should all be worked out by the end of the weekend... Other than that, the driver seat moves a little, I believe the bracket is loose or missing a bolt... And there was a puncture in one of the hoses from the radiator, that I shall be replacing tomorrow... Other than that it's tip top and drives like a beauty. And will only get better and better. I plan to make this one of the fastest 8 valves on the road this summer, and over the winter, put in the VR6, and then she will really be a blast to drive...
I will be posting updates whenever there will be any, and I am so proud to have joined the community officially !
Looking Forward to a long life with VW,
Chris
