So i'm looking for a project car that comes cheap. like under 1k$
I've found a few, but it's tough to find a 1.8t quattro with manual.
there is a good body 1.8t quattro, but it's auto fs. cheap, 750 open to offers.
The auto transmission is blown, so it would have to be replaced anyways.
My other option is there is a very clean V6 manual for $1500 obo.
So I would probably want to swap the v6 out eventually, but at least I could drive it around and do all the suspension mods before having to deal with that.
Now my main question is this what do you consider easier, swapping the engine, or doing a auto to manual conversion?
That will help my decision. (note, I am mechanically capable of either, but laziness and time is a factor)
Thanks.
