This 1984 VW GTI was found in a field back in September. We drug it home with the intention of getting it back on the road and saving it from the crusher. It had been parked because of a broken CV joint and was in pretty rough shape when we found it. The body looked solid though, so we figured it would be a worthwhile endeavor. We replaced the half shaft, wheel bearing, and tires. Then we serviced the engine and got it running again. It runs well now and can be driven while the next owner goes through everything. We focused on the main problems that kept it from being drivable and feel like we have achieved our goal so we would like to get into the hands of someone who can complete the job. Don't be deceived, this car still needs a lot of work, but it is fun to buzz around in and we think it will make someone a great project. We have cleaned it up so you can see all the flaws and hopefully make an honest assessment of the car's current condition.

A summary of all the work we have already performed and more photos can be found here: http://barnfinds.com/project-gti-for-sale/

Here are some of the areas we would want to address next:
-New quarter vent windows and door gaskets.
-New side mirrors. The previous owner installed aftermarket ones, so keep an eye out on eBay for the proper adjustable mirrors.
-Start replacing interior pieces. The headliner is shot and the front seats are not correct.
-Replace all the vacuum lines as well as the exhaust manifold gasket.
-Drive it! The best way to keep an old car going is to use it.

Please leave any questions you may have in the comments section here on Barn Finds and we will get back to you right away. Thanks!

Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.
