Patterson Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 So if anyone else is like this pipe up. Owning cars is a disease. No matter what level of happiness or disappointment I am at I am always looking for deals. Uber cheap is the order of the day. Many of you I'm sure have noticed my to F/S threads on here. The Jetta, and Scirocco. The Scirocco sold in two days. The Jetta is a whole different story. I've dropped the price so far from what I bought it for I feel stupid for even continuing trying to sell it. Well I had/have this dumb ass idea that I need to do a DSM build of sorts. While in the last month or 5 I've learned what not to do, I've figured out a Blueprint for what I wanted. And as usual I was gonna jump in 100% hardcore and dump my "toy" and Daily for this BS. I was getting out of VW's for the time being. 20 over the past ten years I figure is enough for now. Well apparently it isn't. WTF!!!!!! So I'm on the crapper at work scrolling through C/L which I may add is the only app that works well on my HTC Hero and I come across an ad for a GTI. Meh, it's a Mk3, 2.slow, the ad states they have no mechanical ability, hasn't run in a while make offer. I email them, and a few days later I get a email back. "We still have it, come take a look". Er eh oh shit fine I'll go why not. They were asking 700.00. How bad could it be? Leigh and I trek out to Ostrander to see it, find a Camel, and two Llamas. Cool stuff right???? We pull up to the house and what do I see? A cleanish Ginster Yellow GTI. I already know whats going through my head. All day I was figureing of offer 4-500 hundred for this thing get turned down and go home with nothing more than adventure. Yeah no..... The owner says it has been sitting for three years, he parked it when the muffler fell off, and never fixed it cause they had other cars to drive. The rear wheels are locked up, (the parking brake had been set the whole time), and even with a new battery it wouldn't turn over. The body isn't too bad. A few rust bubbles, the interior is dirty as hell. Icky in fact. The owner is just a guy. Not trying to make it fast or modding it nothing. Perfect, he drove it, and did regular maintenance on it. This is how I bought my wifes Mk3 and it has been great. Needless to say, we're here because I am in fact NOT getting out of VW's, I'm even deeper than before. There are other affiliated with P&P that are very disappoint. Oh well. It's a sickness, I can't help it. The whole trip home, I kept asking Leigh WTF did I just do!?????? This thing should be a slam dunk to get going. Flush the fluids, clean it, actually tighten down the battery clamps, and push the clutch in when I start it. He didn't..... The oil wasn't gross, and the coolant was still green. Unlock the brakes. Exhaust, Slam, Drive. Win! On to the initial pics from my first visit with_______. (Lets pic a German name for this one. All the others were named. Help me out?) http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Project%20WTF/Picture690.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Project%20WTF/Picture689.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Project%20WTF/Picture688.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Project%20WTF/Picture687.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Project%20WTF/Picture686.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Project%20WTF/Picture685.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Project%20WTF/Picture691.jpg This thing will need some http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Alrich/stretch.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Alrich/poke.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't however understand the stretching tires, aweful camber, ruined suspension thing VW guys do......... They can get away with tires that wont perform, more negative than a yugo full of fat chicks, and a suspension setup that cost more than the car yet handles 10x worse than the stock stuff did because they have NO BALLS!!!!! When youre slow you can get away with these things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of something like this: I never really got a straight answer, you are trying to put a 4G63 in this thing, right? Oh no. But I've got a 95 GST waiting in the wings. Likely that will happen next year or start over the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
