Hi again, Well, my search for a GLI was short. I found one in Fremont yesterday and plopped down a deposit. It's a looong story so I'll spare ya the details. Nice, super-clean, loaded, teal '91 GLI with 60kmi and a salvage title (theft recovery, not wrecked). Power is weak so I hope to diagnose that soon. The rest of the car was good enough to convince me to get it even though I was nervous about the motor/HP "problem". Time will tell if that was smart or not, eh? :-P
Anyway, our current damaged 90.5 GLI is now up for sale. It's hit in the rear and needs a new rear body panel. I picked up a matching-color trunk lid and taillight to replace the busted stuff. I was planning on getting the car repaired, then selling it. But I figured I'd see if anyone wants it "as-is" with the parts to fix it. It will require bodywork, it's not all bolt-on stuff (or I'd do it myself!:). I can email pictures etc if anyone is seriously interested. Here's some basic info, please email me with questions: 1990 Jetta GLI 16v, 111kmi Color: Calypso Green (light, "sea-foam" green) Recaro seats with power height adjustment Sunroof, trip computer, power locks NO power windows/mirrors, cruise, ABS, or fog lights Interior is excellent, near showroom condition Exterior is average, and rear end is banged up Thule ski/bike rack (box of fittings etc included) Neuspeed springs (original springs included) Short shift kit with shift weight (linkage totally rebuilt) Teardrop 16v 14x6 wheels with Comp T/A's Motor is VERY strong, recent timing belt, front brake job New cat, rear muffler, O2 sensor, radiator hoses, p/s hoses Ice cold A/C (<--main reason we bought the car!) 1-2 synchro is worn, slight oil leak from speedo cable seal (??) Rear windows are tinted Clean CA title I live in Sacramento, CA. I found a shop here that will do the repair for $700-$1k, depending on if you want the replacement trunk lid re-painted etc. It's fully driveable but the trunk is, umm, not quite watertight "as-is". If nobody wants it as a builder, I'll get it fixed and post again in a few weeks. I not really sure what to ask in it's present condition, but I'd kinda like to get mid-$3k or so. If it wasn't hit, I'd ask mid $5k. I'm open to offers since I'd prefer to save the hassle of the bodywork if possible. Please email me privately, off the list if you have any questions... no need to clutter the list up! :-) Dave M.
