    1989 VW Fox 2-door, 1979 VW Dasher 4-door

    1989 VW Fox 2-door Base $2000 obo
    Everything VW related that I have $2800 obo (listed under PNW parts classifieds in detail)

    I am willing to entertain any trades, especially those involving scooters/motorcycles, firearms, cool projects, etc.
    I am also willing to return this car to mostly stock and would sell it for $1500 obo that way. The only thing that would stay is the exhaust, I still have all of the other parts I upgraded.

    Paint is faded on the roof, hood, and trunk. PO spray bombed hood and trunk with a relatively matching shade......it's not to bad if overall.
    Absolutely no rust anywhere whatsoever.
    Pop out rear windows.

    Factory Base Models has:
    No power steering
    No A/C
    No power locks
    4spd tranny
    No cruise control...

    I have removed most of what is not needed for the car to run properly. As a result you MUST warm it up for it to idle properly. Starts every time though and runs like a champ.

    upgrades:
    Suspension- all upgraded approx 4-5k miles ago
    FK Corrado 60/40 springs
    GY2 shocks all around
    new strut mounts
    new bump stops
    BFI 22mm rear sway (bolts into twist axle)
    Larger rear drums from a Caddy/Fox wagon/mk3 etc...
    sits a lot lower than stock, but not really low by VW standards A arms are nearly level for excellent handling
    Motor-
    TT Exhaust from the motor back. dual downpipe manifold with tt downpipe, tt cat, tt catback aluminized w/Dynomax muffler
    TT 268 cam w/older adjustable cam gear
    Throttle body from an Audi 80 (same as mk2, digi Fox, Audi 5000 etc.)
    ECU is from a mk2 GTI and I have the switch to wire up WOT stuff, just never got around to it.
    PCV system has been replaced with a catch can, ebay variety modified to work properly
    Timing advanced
    stock small valve head and low compression pistons (8.5 to 1) would be a great motor to turbo if that's your thing, or buy the solid lifter head I have and do an JH/ABA or 3A 2.0 n/a motor (that was my plan...)

    interior/exterior
    scirocco seats
    VW Motorsports wheel
    Audi 5000 leather shifter boot
    crappy stereo w/ stock speakers
    Fox gauge cluster w/ Tach and KPH speedo

    currently on 13" snow tires Tarantulas on the front and VW alloys on the back with good studdless snow tires (these worked well for fast drives on all the logging roads we have near here) I also have a set of 15" Vials and a set of 13" Enkeis, both 8 spoke panasport style for sale separately, and a set of tarantulas with YokoA008Rs; two are shaved and two are down to the metal... I would happily cut a deal if you wanted different wheels.
