    Arrow 87 vw gti 16v

    Here she is. This has been in my project since December. I have lost intrest and just dont have the time to finish her up right now.

    Specs:

    1987 VW GTi DOHC 16v

    Engine code PL, was rated at 123hp from the factory.

    Has A/C (needs charge) and PS. Kickass manual sunroof!

    VIN# 1VWDB0171HV040977

    Exterior: 5/10

    Interior: 8/10

    Mechanical: 7/10

    The Good:
    New oil pan gasket
    Rebuilt brake booster
    New master cylinder
    Rebuilt front and rear calipers
    Stainless braided front hoses
    New rubber hoses in back
    New proportioning valve
    Many new hard lines
    EBC redstuff pads front, regular stuff in the back
    Neuspeed crossdrilled front rotors
    New solid rear rotors
    New front and rear wheel bearings/seals
    New inner and outer tie rods
    New ball joints
    New sway bar endlinks
    Polyurethane master bushing kit
    New rear axle beam bushings
    K&N drop-in
    New radiator hoses
    New distributor, plugs, wires
    FK motorsports 6-way adjustable struts and shocks
    Neuspeed springs
    Aero race wheels 13"x8" with new sumitomo tires
    Jetta gli Front Recaro Seats
    New starter will be included / installed shortly.

    The Bad:

    The starter doubles as a motor mount reinforcement. Car lurches when taken out of gear. Its an easy fix either way and it will be on the car in a couple of days. No big deal.

    The engine bogs/misses between 1k and 2k rpms. Not totally certain why but there are a couple of missing vacuum hoses that are likely candidates.

    20 years worth of body wear. Has a few dents and dings. Two very tiny surface rust spots under passenger rear window.

    No headlinder.

    Price $2800 firm.
