Nice find, especially for the price-cant beat that! So what kind of interior work are you doing besides the stereo?

i'm gonna get rid of the stock door pockets and replace them with custom speaker pods, gonna get rid of the vinyl that covers the beams under the windows, and new carpet kit, and recover the doors in black tweed with raised VW symbols (one on each door)

wow good deal, those quasars are worth more than half of that!

it has a new top, MOMO Quasars (in decent shape) clipper kit (i'm gonna refurbish it). the engine has a cam (either 268 or 272). the engine is strong the tranny is strong. there are little problems, but nothing major. i'm just gonna take my time and widdle away at the bugs

correction the motor does not have a cam, it's too gutless compared to my friends 8v

Post by **Calimus** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 2:17 am

so what are you waiting for, go get a cam! Oh and grab me one while your at it

Unfortunatly, there isn't much in the way of cheap hydo 8v cams. Switch over to solid lifter and snag a G-grind for cheap on the PoorTex or E-bay.

if it does then i need to steal some saplings and sell them on e-bay

I think we all could use some sapling in that case. At any rate, got another extra part in for the wifes cabby, Kamie Grill spoiler showed up on our doorstep thursday night.

I got really lucky and found it in a blow out sale for $55 brand spanking new and still in the box.
