so i needed to get a 2nd car so found this in denver for 450 and it seems to be a good start

1986 8v gti
lots of funny wiring work
the kid decided to murder out the car and so just black premiering every thing even the front turn signals and side markers
so lots of work to do, first is to tar the head off and see if it needs just an head job or a new head gasket or new motor
kid said it had the head gasket go out and started to over heat and then stop running but not sure what the true story is i see orange silicone in between the head and block so not sure what the kid really did but we will see
smokestack and i will be taring it apart on sunday the 5th and seeing what is going on
anyways here are a few pic to look at

for a second I thought that was Dan's old car, but it has rear glass... so no.

This is Chris

Whelp, cracked rings on number 4 so it either needs a rebuild or replace. Anyone have a line on a cheap short or long block 8v?

I have a number of a guy with a high compression mk2 8v motor he wants $70 for (and it ran when removed) if you want it, send me a PM.

I'm sure he wants it, but I believe he has to wait on funds to come in from a set of d44 axles he's selling.

I think he means this one because it's a high compression motor with (more than likely) a hydro head so he can keep his GTI camshaft.

snoopy · « **Reply #15 on:** July 09, 2009, 08:34:00 PM »

I sent the name and number earlier. Did you get it?

snoopy · « **Reply #16 on:** July 12, 2009, 08:49:53 AM »
