Like I said, If anyone has a digital camera and some time, I would gladly post some pics. |

VW's don't.... It would be better as a spec racer than a rally car. |

I'm 30 miles north of Spokompton right now.... And the sale might just be postponed for a few months..... Just got my hands on a whole bunch of tube stock and a 1.8T HeHeHe.... I think a cage and engine swap is in order...... not to mention a set of suicide doors in the rear... I like extensive work.... Unless somebody buy's it first. Thanks for the tip on vwvortex.com, I'll check it out definately.... I like that coupe..... nice color and rim combo for it. BTW if you know anybody looking, I've been scouting wrecking yards and whatnot around the state... and I can get a few VW's pretty cheap.... Older Toyota's, Honda's and Mitsubishi's too.... AND just for anyone interested... I know where there is a Levin AND a Trueno sitting right now..... and they are BOTH for sale...... I got the hook-ups... ![]() What color are you doing your GLI BTW? |

Racing dosen't require interior, so it's no biggie... as for price, anywhere from $200 to $550 average.... The Trueno and the levin both aren't in driveable condition.... but that is easily remedied..... ( I like being able to fix things that are broken ) Also, check impound and police auctions, you would be amazed at what you can find. Dolphin Grey? My original color for my Jetta was Ascott Grey.... how close of a match is that in color? |

I really have to bite the bullet on this one.... I've got another kidney stone on the way, 9mm this time.... The bills are piling up.... Still no camera tho |
