Hey hey. i am looking forward to buying this 1986 or so VW Jetta Coupe and although it has some rust around the windows I think it would be a great personal race car for ITB. the guy is selling it for 200 dollars and it has no sun roof, run, but needs a new clutch. so that's that on the car. It does have A/C that does run so i can get some money for that to fund for the car.
I am wondering what I should do to get it to a semi/low competitive level car. I am not looking to be 1st or even in the middle. I dont care if I get last as long as I am having fun driving out there. So what should I do to at least be ahead of ONE car out there. hehe. That's all I ask.
I know the suspension will be gone so that has to be done, and it is essential. New springs, shocks, bushings, and all that. I don't know what kind of compression it is but it is a 8v, 1.8l. I will get the engine code later to see. I used to own a 86 jetta Gl and it was my first baby and I did all my own work so if yall start talking and all I will be able to understand.
Ya. Its gunna be a cheap car. Do you guys think I can get away with spending 2000 dollars on it for a total of 2200 dollars with buying the car?? I know lots of places where i can get used parts and some sorta new parts for cheap so I think it might be able to happen, pass that one or two cars I mean. Thanx.
