Miles since rebuild: 150
Title: DIESEL...clean, in-hand and ready to go. Registered until Feb, 2008.
MPG: estimated 30 miles per gallon


Here's a partial list of everything that's been done!...i lost page 2 of the receipt but, basically, the motor, suspension, front end were rebuilt from the ground up (pics below)

Motor
The entire thing was rebuilt...any moving part was rebuilt or replaced, etc. seals were replaced, etc...here's just a partial list (i lost page 2 of the receipt)
head gasket
valve cover gasket
piston ring
rod bearing
exhaust manifold (new, ported, etc)
exhaust manifold gasket
[some sort of seal...can't read the handwriting]
oil pan
oil pan gasket
intake manifold gasket
water pump (remanufactured)
main bearings
motor mounts (custom fab for 16v)
timing belt and timing belt cover
16v Spindles
new fluids, etc.

Remanufactured starter, alternator

Transmission:
Rebuilt scirrocco 5-speed

NEW front axles

NEW control arms
Corrado big brakes
NEW ball joints
NEW struts
Rear disc brakes
Konig GT-R 15" wheels with NEW hankook rubber
22mm sway bar front

Body:
New radiator support
Pulled and straightened front frame rails (they did a GREAT job...front end lines up PERFECTLY...better body gaps than stock)

all the trim bits (chrome trim, door handles, lights, etc are available, but the car is being sanded down right now to be primered so they have all been removed)

Price? I've dumped over $7000 in to this project. It is totally complete minus paint....I know I won't get that back, so I'm only asking $4500 obo.

I will not ship, so you have to be local or willing to come pick it up. Car is located in Orange County and available for test drives for those truly interested. IM or email me (mcascant (AT) GMAIL (dot) com) for more info/pics/etc.

That is great that you listed everything that is done to it, new and/or replaced.....
Now I'm sure that some people would like to know what the rest of the things are.. Like: rust? undercarriage, non working parts on the car. I know that you're trying to sell this car, but it would be nice to tell the people what is wrong with the car as well. Also YOUR asking price. You put in 7k into it, but what is your asking price?

no, thanks...totally forgot to mention all that stuff.


Rust? None at all...

Undercarriage: perfect....bodyshop that did my front end actually complimented me on how great it all looked.

non-working parts? no e-brake but a simple fix (since the rear brakes were converted to disc brakes, a diff mechanism will be needed on the handle...again, a simple fix)

my asking price is listed toward the bottom :)
