    Broken Cabrio that used to have 6 cylinders

    New Price!! 500$ OBO I need this thing out of my drive way. Take it home this weekend. New tires, neuspeed DTM exhaust, new vinyl top! Someone come get this car!

    FS: 1997 Cabrio Shell

    Color : White
    VIN : 3VWBA81E8VM808001
    Mileage : 112xxx on the body
    Clean CT Title in hand!!

    I bought the car last March, and swapped an OBDII Vr6 into it. It was a complete swap, the donor was a 1998 GTI DE leftover. Everything from the GTI was swapped over. No motor or Trans included with the car.

    -VR6 Front K-frame, motor mount crossmember, radiator crossmember.
    -VR6 brake booster, brake master, clutch master
    -VR6 Suspension (Control arms, tie rods, etc.)
    -Full 5 lug swap front and rear
    -DE Wheels with almost new Khumo Ecstas (less than 500 miles)
    -Rotors and pads with less than 1000 miles on them
    -Vmaxx coils (no bumpstops, ride is what you'd expect)
    -New top, no rear window (I broke it trying to remove the window seal)
    -Raceland header, new bosal catalytic converter, neuspeed catback with DTM tips
    -Black GTI dash, center console, door cards, GTI golf ball shift knob

    The Cabrio's body is in okay condition. it needs a drivers door and fender. The door catch broke and caused the door to crease against the fender. There's two rust spots on the passenger fender and one quarter sized hole above the drivers side tail light. The car will not have seats unless I can find the tan fronts that I bought the car with, no rear seats.

    If there are any questions about it, feel free to PM me. I'd like to avoid parting out anything further than a rolling shell, and you WILL NEED A DOLLY OR TRAILER.



    Car is located in the Danbury area.
