I have always wanted a Jeep.....So I am selling this to finally get one
I drove this car to Kruzerfest(280 miles), Kruzerfest - Waterfest(115 miles), Waterfest - home(280 miles). Never overheated, never died, didn't consume a drop off oil, did great on gas. I sat in 2 hours of traffic only moving about a mile, then drove all the way home and had a 1/4 of a tank left....thats roughly 28/29 mpg!!!!!!! I wish I had a true figure but the odometer is broken. I bought a used wiper ass. in the swap meet area. On the way to Kruezerfest my wipers acted up, I think that the spindle things are stripped. I have the wiper ass. from WF that I will throw in.
1986 alpine white Jetta coupe
-PA car
- Pass. side has body damage, some scattered surface rust here and there
-The car has gone through 2 gauge clusters and now has a bum odometer. estimated miles are 105k
-New rubber valve cover gasket w/ correct studs
-new oil pan gasket
-new shifter rebuild kit
-dual exhaust manifold and downpipe off a g60, new gaskets
-There is an exhaust leak at the mani/block, motor mounts are needed
- new TT exhaust w/ dynomax muffler
- The tires have a ton of tread on them
-new NYS inspection
- headliner is stapled, I bought it like this....only stapled along the edges
- No power anything
- sunroof
- interior is nice except a little tear on drivers seat, stapled headliner
- pioneer 6x9's in back, rockford fosgates in front ( I may include a pioneer Cd player)
-Lowered on eibachs w/ bilstien hd struts/shocks (very stiff and handles very well)
-The current front brakes stop ok -no anti rattle clips, rotors are kinda beat, but I have new rotors, pads, and anti rattle clips (one caliper pin is stripped, I tried vice grips [ripped a dust boot] and it didn't work. I do have a new set of pins also) - (my journey to waterfest was done wih these brakes, in this condition)
-- The A/c blew cold for the first hot day, now its not cold, I would think it just need recharge
-new shift nob and boot
-some new power and ground wires in engine bay.
-very minimal surface rust on the underside
- never blows smoke, never burns oil or leaks oil, coolant is nice and fresh
- I took the chrome stripping off the front bumper like 2 days ago, Never got around to getting new ones. I do still have it but its beat
- I do have the back C pillar panels ( I took them off hoping to score black ones)
-Occasional Sunroof leak on the pass. side ( I dunno, it only happens once and awhile....Never happened on the trip to WF, and I got hit with some heavy rain, everyone did)
-Zip tied headlight, and grill. Easiest way to adjust the headlights, I think they might be broken. They stay in just cant adjust
-the rear deck has some crayon on it, only in a couple areas
-Freshly dyed bumpers
