my 100$ find

Re: my 100$ find (robgti16v)

thats going to be some work!

Re: my 100$ find (robgti16v)

Where did you pick that up? I was looking for one but ended up buying a whole engine for $350.

Re: my 100$ find (tram)

$100 is way too much for something in that condition...

Re: my 100$ find (Ted)

Thats actually a good price. The going rate at most shops/wreckers etc is higher than that.

Re: my 100$ find (robgti16v)

Hey, I have a "find" that is just waiting for someone. 1.8 16V block. $50, with all internals. 170K miles on it. It isn't a 2.0 but it might be good for someone who wants to experiment with a turbo. It is also much cleaner than the one in the above pic.

Re: my 100$ find (robgti16v)

Nice score. If the internals are in good condition, $100 is a good deal. I got $50 for my 1.8, which was in good condition.

Re: my 100$ find (tram)

Jack's in Bristol. They have another passat there too still with the block. It's going to get machined and gone threw.

Re: my 100$ find (robgti16v)

i had some great finds today as well! my friends ditched on going to the yard with me but i went by myself. after 4 hours of scavenging the vw yard I got full leather door and rear panels for the gti, a new handle which works great, scirocco leather seats, gauge pieces and some hazard and fog switches, and a thermo swtich, volt gauge all for $85 beans
P.S. If anyone wants a full set of good condition scirocco leathers with cloth in the middle let me know I can get a couple pair

Not bad. Apparently late Passats have forged bottom ends. This info is from a reputable source.

Re: my 100$ find (Chris_P)

guys.. you are nuts about not getting a good deal.. A decent 2.0 bottom end here in cali goes for about 3 to 5 hundred EASY... good score.. and usually passats are automatics and the motors are in great condtion.
