This car started as a tornado red 91 8v gti


I purchased this car in 2007, it had been recently repainted corrado "flash red"
It had a 1995 obd1 vr with the 02a 5 speed tranny . with the full 5 lug subframe 4 wheel disks and rear swing arm out of a donor jetta glx. It has a corrado slc master cylinder and pedal cluster. It also had the full mk3 dash with center console and 90' corrado g60 seats with red stripe interior panels and a one peice 8v gti back seat. at the time i bought it, it had no headliner. 

I have done many things since then. the first thing was i ended up replacing the block since the 95 vr had shot rings on cylinder 5. now the car has a 98 vr long block with the original 95 head and is still set up obd1.

I have replaced the following items:

vr long block obd2 100,000 miles est
vr 12 v head "1995" all valves reground + autotech 262 cams. 20,000 miles since rebuid
new head gasket 
new timing chain tensioners 
new hydraulic valve lifters

new water pump 
new tensioner pulley
new oil to water heat exchanger
new shifter linkage
new power steering rack with new inner and outer tie rod ends
full borla 2.5 exhaust kit with high flow cat and tubular header
coil overs (cant remeber the brand)
new emergency brake cables with mk3 tubes.

body repair:
full passenger side floor replacement fully sealed and undercoated
driver side door panel rust repaired and painted. 
trunk floor rust repaired and resealed and undercoated.

I replaced the rad support and have a quad round setup with cross hair crystal clear head lights. I also have a single round badge-less grill thats included.

resealed unused holes in firewall and replaced steering rack/ colum boot (missing when i purchased the car) 

Replaced headliner and recovered with aftermarket cloth. *(needs to be done again as i used the incorrect glue) 

Completely replaced dash with another donor mk3 dash ( i did this since the dash that was in it was modified very poorly and looked like crap. it now sits flush and has a near stock appearance. (the vin plate on the dash matches the car) the heater controls function properly as i replaced the switch cluster. The ac does not work as i had been running the car without a condeser, compressor or any lines/ electric. I do however have all the components to make the ac function . the gauge cluster is the vr cluster from a 95 gti/glx (black gauges not white like the obd2 cars) i have replaced both the speedo and tach servos and the speed sensor in the tranny. It also has a near mint 14" momo steering wheel. 

I replaced both manual door window regulators and shortened the cranks to be used while the doors r closed (a problem with mk3 dash swaps)

the car currently sits on bbs rims from a mk4 jetta wolfsburg. I also have a set of black 15" steelies.

It has the late mk2 big bumpers with no fogs

The bad:
has some rust forming around the bottom of the front and rear window sils.
I began repair up front but it does need to be addressed. (the car comes with an entire extra rear hatch that can be swapped in to deal with the rear window.

the front window has a crack and will have to be replaced

the headliner (as stated before) needs to be removed and reglued. also needs the sunroof headliner piece (i have never had one in this car)

needs tires

needs to be inspected but it has always passed with no issue for me as the motor is essentially stock.

the interior panels are getting pretty rough from age/ water damage. probably due to needing door window seals. 

The paint was nice when i bought the car but since it was a rushed job it hasn't held up very well and is pealing in some places. 
there are some minor body imperfections on the bumpers etc as the car was my daily driver.

the driver side seat has some wear though on the bolsters but otherwise is fine.

the clear coat on the wheels is pealing (common on these bbs's) and 2 have minor dents in the rim (still hold air and are balanced) 

this is truly reliable car with a well done swap.  It was my daily driver for years. Im only getting rid of it since i recently got a vanagon which I'm focusing on now. feel free to contact me with any questions i know the car inside and out.

Leaked Audi product roadmap may confirm R8 with V6 engine

Tue, Feb 23 2016

About a year ago, we reported that Audi was considering downsized engines for the new R8, which launched in V10 form. This is partially due to the Chinese market's desire for smaller displacement engines, and partially due to R8 technical lead Roland Schala's statement that a "V6 is a perfect engine for this car." This leaked upcoming product schedule, passed on by our friends at Autobahn.eu, seems to confirm these rumors. Based on the information in the image above, the R8 V6 is due in 2018. The rest of the product map seems to square with vehicles we know are in the pipeline. We spied the SQ7, A5, and R8 Spyder about a year ago, and the TT RS a few months ago. We told you in December a new Q5 is on the way, too. We just heard a credible rumor that the RS3 is on the way in 2017 as a 2018 model, and may even come to America, which squares with what we're seeing here. And we drove the Q7 E-Tron in 2015 – it's going on sale in Europe soon. This graphic puts the on-sale date as October 2017; that could be for the US market. Puzzlingly, this graphic doesn't discuss the Q2, which Audi just teased today. We're not sure what to make of that. Now onto the fun stuff. 2018 should be when Audi reveals a new A8 (featuring, most likely, a version of the futuristic Virtual Dashboard seen at CES) and A7, an RS 5 Coupe launching a few months after the A5/S5, a new A6, and the already-confirmed Q8 SUV. All expected or already confirmed. What about the cryptically-named "C-BEV?" If we extrapolate that to mean C-segment EV, if could be the Audi version of the stand-alone EV that VW is reportedly developing, and no, it's not the next E-Golf. We expected this MEB-based vehicle to debut in 2018, before the next-generation Golf, so again our rumors square nicely with what this roadmap tells us. Let's leave it at this: if you're an Audi fan, the next few years are going to be quite exciting. Expect some of these rumors to be confirmed in Geneva, so keep your eyes here for more Audi and VW info. Related Video:

Suzuki and VW finalize their divorce

Thu, Feb 11 2016

The rocky divorce between Suzuki and Volkswagen is finally over after working its way through the International Court of Arbitration since 2011, according to the Japan Times. In the final settlement to end the companies' disputes, Suzuki agreed to pay VW an undisclosed amount for not living up to the agreement to use the German automaker's diesel engines. While they won't disclose the exact sum, Suzuki said in a statement that the money "will not have any significant impact" on its 2015 fiscal year results, which will end in March. The arbitration court took the biggest step to end this transcontinental partnership in August 2015 when the body ruled VW needed sell its 19.9-percent stake in Suzuki. However, the Japanese company wasn't entirely off the hook because VW was still allowed to sue for damages over the diesel engine issue. This latest decision finally clears up that dispute. Like most marriages, the union between VW and Suzuki began with stars in both parties' eyes. The Germans paid $2.8 billion to buy 19.9 percent of the Japanese company in December 2009. VW was supposed to get greater access to the auto market in India, and Suzuki hoped to capitalize on access to its partner's advanced technology. By 2011, rumors started percolating that things were contentious behind closed doors. VW allegedly tried to assert control over Suzuki's operations, and the Japanese company reportedly wasn't happy with its access to the German tech. Suzuki even bought diesel engines from Fiat, rather than VW. Later that year, company CEO Osamu Suzuki announced he would end the alliance, and they started working through arbitration. Notification Concerning Resolution of Arbitration by Settlement As Suzuki has reached a settlement regarding the arbitration that Suzuki filed with the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce on 24 November 2011, Suzuki informs you of the following: 1. History from the Request for Arbitration to the Settlement As announced in the "Notification Concerning Arbitration Award" dated 30 August 2015, the Tribunal indicated that it would address the issue of alleged damages arising from Suzuki's breach of the agreement claimed by Volkswagen AG ("VW") in a further stage of the arbitration proceedings. Suzuki reached a settlement with VW in regard to such arbitration proceedings on 10 February 2016. Accordingly, the arbitration proceedings have been concluded. 2.

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
