Looks like you have a great start on a nice cabby! I'm jealous of you guys that actually have a garage you can clutter up LOL. I live in a townhome with a strata that goes ballistic everytime I jack up my cars just to change tires, they weren't impressed with my waterpump change I did either, even t...

Not much of an update, but after trying a few different things with RM bolts like attempting to polish them, paint, etc I decided that it would look better to just simply order gold bolts :rolleyes: I got a little sidetracked with selling off other old projects like both our B3's (Audi 90 & Pass...

Next step.......1.8T

I was tempted to do that last year, but I'm keeping it old school. I just swapped in an Audi AAA 2.0L block with solid lifter head, Schrick 288 deg/440 lift cam, Supersprint header, so it rips fairly well now

Making some progress with the wheels, UPS dropped off some goodies direct from Germany

Ok that's what I thought. I need one of those, cuz when I'm going down the highway at 65 mph the rpms are in the 3800 range. Yup, I ran short ratio tranny's in my previous mk 1's, with the exception of my '82 Jetta Gli. I tried a diesel 020 with a lightened flywheel with great success, hence why I ...

Got some updates on this project: I previously posted the Audi 3A 2.0L/solid lifter head engine swap recently completed in the "Engine Performance" section, but there's a few other things that have recently happened as well-thought I'd give you guys an update. There was some nasty dents on...

Thanks guys! Back in the late 90's in a previous '83 GTI I owned, I had a 2.0L ABA that had been built @ RPI with similar specs. That motor was truly a monster, this motor's pretty close though. The biggest difference was that I still was running the close ratio GTI tranny. This Audi Bubble block se...

After many months of procrastinating, I finally have the Audi 2.0L motor I purchased from a good buddy installed in my '81 Cabby. Here are the specs on the motor: Audi AAA 2.0L bottom end Rebuilt Solid Lifter head Shrick 288deg .440 lift cam Super Sprint 55mm header Intake manifold port matched to h...

I'm not too far from there either-I'm in Kelowna

Is that an early Rabbit dash stuffed with a mk2 gauge cluster? Nice look. Funny how most mk1 guys upgrade to the Cabby dash. Dope. :banghead: Major Deja Vu. That's a complete Mk2 dash with gauges. I knew that it looked to "new" to be a mk1... Thanks mang! I'd never done a dash swap in my ...

Here's my project cabby in various stages: First mod was the wheels http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/bkoolb3/New%20Cabby/DSC01422.jpg Weitech Coilovers in, no more 4x4 :mrgreen: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/bkoolb3/New%20Cabby/DSC01463.jpg Found an old school dual round grill http://...

Found this forum through Club Vee Dub, looks great so far! My WIP is an '81 that I ve had for a few years now & loving it! Though I've owned various MK1's over the last 20 years, this is my first cabby.
