Nice progress. I dig the period correct grille. Some cool old school parts on the 8v as well.

Glad you found a trans, nice bonus engine! Grille looks great too!

Thanks guys, the trans is a 2Y, and functions as if it has a LSD. I cleaned up the engine and not only does it have those cool parts, but it appears to be ported and polished as well!Last edited by verboten1; 04-14-2020, 07:08 PM.'98 Beetle: PURPLE ---'03 Jetta TDI: my new daily --'01 GTI VR6: my new toy --'75 CB550F: Cafe Frankenbike ---'82 XV920: The Cruiser ---'99 Ninja 250 ---'00 KLR685Comment

About 2 weeks after I got it running well, we had the track day at Grattan. The car was a champ, I pushed it pretty hard considering it had almost no miles on my install.

In the spring of 2019 I drove to Dayton for the annual "Cincy" gathering, I had to work on the alternator on that drive but otherwise it was great

We drove out to EuroRanch to hang out, and managed to make it there and back and even win a prize for the longest D!

I managed to find a 1984 Small spoiler, no wiper hatch. This thing is kind of unubtainium.
