For sale/for trade is my '89 GTI with full ABA swap and AGB 16v close-ratio transmission. I decided I have to much going on in life to justify finishing this project (new job + kid). The car has been incredibly reliable for me over the past year i have owned it. It also has always had plenty of power (more than i expected) and runs great. I bought this car for better fuel mileage and to fix it up and autocross it but the work load of finishing college and now life has proven to be too much. It breaks my heart to let all my hard work go but it must be done. Car has been extremely reliable and starts right up every time. I put about 3-4,000 miles on it this past year.
