Normal disclaimer. this is MY car not Revos, this is not being sold by Revo and in no way affiliated with Revo. Vehicle is as is, comes with no warranty and I will only let it leave on a trailer. Please do not email my work email or call the office about this. Only way to contact me about this is via PM on here or you are one of the lucky 3 or so people to have my cell phone. IF you know someone with my cell phone have them contact me, I don't answer numbers I don't know . If you have my number and I forgot ot save it so i don't answer I"m sorry send me a text and remind me I know you.



Relocating to WV, while I don't need to sell it I don't really feel like moving it up there and since i'll be between houses don't want to deal with storage.


Asking $1600 fairly firm but the sooner it goes the more negotiable I am. There is more then that in never used parts already installed so its like you get a free truck with a bunch of mk1 parts.


Mileage unknown
Engine 1.8 8V with a carb, needs fuel and the cobwebs blown out and it will start. (maybe battery but i'm not buying one will have one handy to prove it starts)
5spd manual I honestly have not driven it enough to know how it really is but felt fine
manual steering
AC compressor but AC not working because well it has no dash installed

Good:
(anything listed as new really means new as i"ve driven it all of maybe 3 times)
Brand new tires like as in 6 miles from tire shop to my office a year ago
Brand new raceland coilovers in the front
Brand new strut bearings/mounts
Drop plates came with it not sure of how low they are
Rewired front to back with new fuse panel and all (see notes below)
new inner and out tie rod ends
tie rod flip kit
Front 16V brakes with brand new rotors, pads, calipers (remans) (painted black)
Rear disk conversion done new rotors, pads, used calipers (painted black)
Master cylinder for disk brakes installed (not currently bled)
New boards to build headliner and pillars off of (for say wrapping in suede)
Poly control arm bushings ( I think came with it don't recall installing them)
I believe I put in new ball joints if not they are fine
Fairly certain I have more parts I threw at this thing but can't recall right now.

The not so good not so bad:
complete mk1 cabriolet dash with heater box.. its just not installed all the way sort of resting there but I have all the pieces
mk2 gli recaros come with it but never got fitting right with the seat belts since they hit in a caddy
has seatbelts but they aren't fully installed (mk1 cabriolet belts)
wiring harness was replaced like I Said but needs final wiring for wipers and other dash parts
Have parts for mk3 wiper motor and intermittent relay
Tailgate is dented like almost all are, handle is missing but it does open and close, I have a spare not so great tailgate also
HAs spare tire mounting hardware but I don't think I have a spare.. if I find a 4 lug spare its yours
One wheel has a slight crack but its been holding air just fine for about 18 months now, i do have a spare not so pretty snow flake for it that isn't cracked, it comes with it
lower motor mount is torn, can't recall if i fixed it but I have more then one spare, plus other mounts all yours
One of hte shift linkage bushings is cracked, never ordered spare makes it hard to find first/reverse at times until you know the car (like 2 stop signs) so it works but can be annoying.
Has yellow ebay ecodes...I like you might not but they are brand new

The baddish:
rust.. its a 30 year old not so taken care of vw, no problem rust in shock towers or anything but interior floor is rusted, I have stripped it but never got around to repairing it. There is some rust in the bed as well, you can by patch pieces for a place in the uk.

Since there is no dash there are holes in the firewall, since the exhaust sucks it gets stinky, you cannot drive it as is with the windows closed or you will die.

Someone put a stack on it, yeah a stack like a semi they put one in this. There is an un muffled pipe 6" from the back of your head.. BRILLIANT!

I never got the brakes to bleed right, I finally brought a pressure bleeder but never got to try it, I have 2-3 master cylinders for it and i'll include all of them if I Can find them. I plan to attempt to bled them again so that I don't live the rest of my life feeling defeated by some brakes.


Since I go rid of my 82 2 door any other A1 parts I find before this leaves are included with it.

Up.. I'll have a tow dolly this weekend (most likely) So if anyone interested within say an hour of Buford just wasn't saying yes because they had no way to get it home I can deliver. Maybe a little more but the price gets less negotiable I have a 600 mile tow to do on monday so not looking to spend the weekend pulling cars around.
