For sale 1991 gti vr6 swap.
This car started as a tornado red 91 8v gti I purchased this car in 2007, it had been recently repainted corrado "flash red" It had a 1995 obd1 vr with the 02a 5 speed tranny . with the full 5 lug subframe 4 wheel disks and rear swing arm out of a donor jetta glx. It has a corrado slc master cylinder and pedal cluster. It also had the full mk3 dash with center console and 90' corrado g60 seats with red stripe interior panels and a one peice 8v gti back seat. at the time i bought it, it had no headliner. I have done many things since then. the first thing was i ended up replacing the block since the 95 vr had shot rings on cylinder 5. now the car has a 98 vr long block with the original 95 head and is still set up obd1. I have replaced the following items: vr long block obd2 100,000 miles est vr 12 v head "1995" all valves reground + autotech 262 cams. 20,000 miles since rebuid new head gasket new timing chain tensioners new hydraulic valve lifters new water pump new tensioner pulley new oil to water heat exchanger new shifter linkage new power steering rack with new inner and outer tie rod ends full borla 2.5 exhaust kit with high flow cat and tubular header coil overs (cant remeber the brand) new emergency brake cables with mk3 tubes. body repair: full passenger side floor replacement fully sealed and undercoated driver side door panel rust repaired and painted. trunk floor rust repaired and resealed and undercoated. I replaced the rad support and have a quad round setup with cross hair crystal clear head lights. I also have a single round badge-less grill thats included. resealed unused holes in firewall and replaced steering rack/ colum boot (missing when i purchased the car) Replaced headliner and recovered with aftermarket cloth. *(needs to be done again as i used the incorrect glue) Completely replaced dash with another donor mk3 dash ( i did this since the dash that was in it was modified very poorly and looked like crap. it now sits flush and has a near stock appearance. (the vin plate on the dash matches the car) the heater controls function properly as i replaced the switch cluster. The ac does not work as i had been running the car without a condeser, compressor or any lines/ electric. I do however have all the components to make the ac function . the gauge cluster is the vr cluster from a 95 gti/glx (black gauges not white like the obd2 cars) i have replaced both the speedo and tach servos and the speed sensor in the tranny. It also has a near mint 14" momo steering wheel. I replaced both manual door window regulators and shortened the cranks to be used while the doors r closed (a problem with mk3 dash swaps) the car currently sits on bbs rims from a mk4 jetta wolfsburg. I also have a set of black 15" steelies. It has the late mk2 big bumpers with no fogs The bad: has some rust forming around the bottom of the front and rear window sils. I began repair up front but it does need to be addressed. (the car comes with an entire extra rear hatch that can be swapped in to deal with the rear window. the front window has a crack and will have to be replaced the headliner (as stated before) needs to be removed and reglued. also needs the sunroof headliner piece (i have never had one in this car) needs tires needs to be inspected but it has always passed with no issue for me as the motor is essentially stock. the interior panels are getting pretty rough from age/ water damage. probably due to needing door window seals. The paint was nice when i bought the car but since it was a rushed job it hasn't held up very well and is pealing in some places. there are some minor body imperfections on the bumpers etc as the car was my daily driver. the driver side seat has some wear though on the bolsters but otherwise is fine. the clear coat on the wheels is pealing (common on these bbs's) and 2 have minor dents in the rim (still hold air and are balanced) this is truly reliable car with a well done swap. It was my daily driver for years. Im only getting rid of it since i recently got a vanagon which I'm focusing on now. feel free to contact me with any questions i know the car inside and out. |

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
