Purchased car about 5 years ago with anticipation of making into an Autox car. Kids have kept me from realizing this dream but I have worked on it over the last year to make it a nice, solid daily driver. Car is in solid condition, no rust, recently passed state inspection and road worthy as a daily driver - 172k original miles - no leaks or smoke. Car has been in climate controlled storage for 99% of the last five years. EVERYTHING works on this car as expected as new. I really love driving this car but only have so many garage slots. I had a local tech school student paint to OE VW period blue but he didn’t do a great job. Looking to get $3,200 to cover costs of initial vehicle and parts to bring to current condition.
Recent maintenance/updates:
- Recent oil change and filter (20w50)
- plugs/wires/cap/rotor/air filter/fuel filter
- replaced all blown bulbs/fuses - even the glove box works!
- changed clutch gear oil
- New OE Bosch oxygen sensor
- Chevron Techron fuel additive
- Complete brake tune up
- brake fluid flush
- new wheel cylinders, pads, front rotors
- Items to complete to make proper:
- new rubber (just didn’t want to make the investment) and a decent paint job.
- some minor trim
- seats are a little wobbly but I have new inserts - just not installed
- dash is cracked towards window (see pics)
I hope someone can make good use of this vehicle. Let me know if interested or have any questions.
