I bought a Blue 1992 Tsi. Almost stock. Has hard pipes, K&N filter, rims/tires, and spring springs which I will remove because this is going to be my new RALLY CAR!!!

Pics to follow once it get's washed :):hellyeah:
 
nice... Wish I could find a nice 1g out here :(
 
Ahh I just re-read your first post. Why not find a beat up 1g cheap for rallying?
 
I remember when I bought my first 1g, it was a mint 1990 awd with less than 90k miles on her, it was pretty slow due to a dying 14b but as soon as I put a Evo 3 16g in it came alive. I still have it and still love it as much as the first day I bought it which was three years ago.

Actually, this one is a bit beat up body wise, but the tranny was just rebuild and the motor is strong.

I'm going to gut it and remove all the extra plastic body panels to lighten it.

Pics are coming, should have them up by tomorrow.
 
... the long awaited pics....

... it's a bit beat up but the motor and tranny are solid so it's all good. Can't wait to Rally it :)

I didn't take a pic of the passenger side. The lower door panel is ripped off.

It had a 6-bolt swapped in so that's good news.
 
Poor little 1G thinks its got a new loving home, little does it know it's going to be stripped and pushed in the mud :sosad:

I wish I live in an area that had rallying. I really dont understand how shine running -> Nascar, and not Shine running -> Rally racing.

Looks nice. Not terrible body. About on par with the 2 1gs I've bought and kept around for a while. Most of the 1gs I buy are just quick fixes to flip.
 
Nice 1gb man, take care if it and don't sell it or part her out just Bevause she breaks down in you and you don't wanna fix it! The last thing we need is yet another 1g in the junkyard.

No way man. It took me 2 years to find one, I'm not going to give it up without a fight :)
 
Glad to hear that. Before you throw any go fast parts on it, please take care of the maintenance on it first. And repair anything that needs to be repaired.

No "go fast parts" at all. Just suspension, maintenance and inevitable repairs.
