Too many irons in the fire.
I have 3 MKI Rabbits, a GTI and a Diesel L, 08 Jetta, 97 VR6, F250 powerstroke, in the beginning stages of building a 3 stall garage with a lift.

The PO said it runs then dies about 5 mins later. It did start with no probs. Idles high. I did drive it onto my trailer. Supposedly he was the 2nd owner and the mileage is correct.
Image
On the phone he said the PO also laid new paint to the exterior only. BUT, didnt take time to sand it off...but used a wire-wheel :banghead:
Image
Image
Then I found this pure awesomeness :P
Image
And the rest is for your viewing pleasure. :P

The wheels on it will be coming off, 13" steel wheels with good tires will be put on.
The dash is effed. Looks like the PO attempted to make it better.

The car looks solid. Looks like there may have some work done around the passanger strut tower Maybe a reinforcement weld? looking in the fender wells doesnt show any signs of failure. I can see a small amount of rust near the top of one of the towers. Nothing major as far as I can tell. The fender wells were undercoated recently. The PO said he drove it around and didnt notice any structural probs.


$1200 picked up in Minot, ND
I do have a truck/trailer and will be willing to transport to Fargo for $200 extra and $500
extra to MSP area.
Some trades will be considered. I am looking for a set of adjustable coil-overs for my 81 Diesel Rabbit.

Located in Minot, ND
