hey smokestack, i was a member on the forum before but i live up north so i moved to another forum, brandonb85 is my younger brother i'm looking for a car for our other (youngest) brother, i showed him the car and he's very interested, he has the number you posted and is going to give you a call soon, he'd like to look at it tomorrow if possible.

he's got 800 or 1000 right now, which he could give you as a down payment (you'd still hold on to the car obviously), and he's waiting on his tax return for the rest and should have it by the end of next week or so, he'd just like to put the money down so it doesnt go.... he currently has a chevette (lol!) and keeps wanting to sink money into it, but we're just trying to get him into something else so he can get rid of it.

let me know what you think, you can contact me or brandonb85 (who admittedly doesnt feel like helping our other brother out at all) or you can email me... formulanerd AT gmail DOT com

A friend of mine had a GST, it caught on fire back by the starter then went out and kept driving.

GST's are monsters that break and sometimes randomly fix themselves....

Works for me. I have some church functions tomorrow, but between noon and 5 is fine or after 3pm on Monday. Just have him give me a ring and we can work something out.

sounds good, he's going to call you today, and is planning on getting into springs around 2 or so.

I love mine to death, actually dropped the pan today and found that cyl. 3 had a complete bearing failure.... booooo!

Debating on putting my other motor in it or just polishing that journal and trying a new set of bearings. If I just put bearings in it im going to up the FP and boost the piss out of it til she blows then slap my 6 bolt in it

~Chris, congrats on the sale if it goes through, im sure new guy will love it, I know I did... Just wasnt rational at the time.

Looks like old bill will sit at my house.... He is still yet to have a license..

Maybe I'll have to take it out once in a while to keep it alive

Thanks again Chris

No problem. I hope you three have fun with it, and be sure to bring it to some shows so I can see how the car's progressing.

with that VR in it

Barry · « **Reply #38 on:** February 16, 2009, 07:34:36 PM »

fuck that... might as well find a wrecked mkIV with a 2.0L FSI in it for the swap

punkrider99 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 17, 2009, 11:47:18 AM »

bill was a fun car. it and my pos were like cousins. sad to see it leave your possesion chris but glad it'll still be around.

Smokestack · « **Reply #40 on:** February 17, 2009, 12:04:14 PM »

I still haven't seen what all the new owner of your old car is doing. It sounded like he had some hefty plans for it and was off to a good start.

Bill was a fun car, but I'm sure I'll run into another irresistable, "should go to the scrapper", "how am I going to explain this to the wife" deal on some abused hunk of iron that I'll resurrect. Hopefully next time I'll be in a place where I can justify hanging onto a one.

white... good color choice... I remember when he posted up in the mkII forums, asking the people with the most opinionated tastes which color he should paint it....

I was hoping for the forest green...

LOS · « **Reply #45 on:** February 17, 2009, 02:42:49 PM »

Its not a pic of the whole car, just the engine bay.

Here is the pic you nancy's...
