"A" vr6 Yank MK2

It's gonna be difficult, my mk2 only knows how to go around corners.
I'll keep my thread as upto date as I can

 

just a small update as my mk2 still isn't with me but I have got some new bits for it lol I have been after a set of mk2 recaro's for awhile but I just couldn't get myself to shell out hundreds of 's for seats that looked like they came from a scrap yard. A friend of mine here in the states has a set for a long time that I've been after. Well I finally got them this weekend along with this mk1 project

The seats are Helios power recaro's

They have some fag burns and the webbing needs to be replaced but I only paid about 250 for the shell, 3 sets of wheels, the recaro's and a hand full of other goodies. I need to build a wiring harness for the seats and then I'll put them in...if my car ever gets here that is

 

Looking good keep us fed with the good stuff

 

250 for that lot, i need to move to the states!

 

I got all this for 250

3 sets of wheels, center console with gauges, front suspension, petrol tank, rad, HID kit, new mk1 shift ball and the recaro's

 

Jammy git lol

 

Will you need to have American plates on it when it arrives? Would be nice to have CGTI 1 on it lol

 

Yeah, it'll have to have American plates. I might just do that For the plate lol

 

Any updates?

 

I found out my car didn't leave England until 17 July, which was a month late. Now it's either sitting on the container ship at Houston port awaiting customs or it's waiting to be put on a lorry to be delivered to St. Louis. As of right now it's 48 days late. I'll keep you guys unto date

 

good job you got the mk1 to work on in the mean time

 

I wish I had extra money for the mk1. I might have to sell it so I can upgrade the brakes on the mk2 lol

 

you could raise the money by selling US spec items on here.

I could use a bora / jetta front rubbing strip and some GLI rear lights.

 

Become our club gti USA swapmyster exchange is no robbery and tax free

 

true the US guys must want to buy europe only parts

 

I'll see what I can find. Do you have a picture of the front rubbing strips?

I might be able to do something like this

 

My cars still not here but I think I was told Friday, I got a call while I was sleeping and don't remember most of it lol , it should be clearing customs soon.

I had a little time so I did this...it sucked

I had RJ look it up and I think he said mine was built in Feb '84 sometime. I might have to ask him again

 

I think this turned out ok

Now I just have to wait for my mk2 to get here
