newguy20 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Hi everybody. I just inherited an 87 tsi from my father and going to finish restoring. Any advice for me? I was wondering where's the best place for parts and the typical problem areas regarding these cars. I love the styling of these cars and the rarity of them. I've always wanted a cool 80s car and this fits the bill. Thanks for any advice in advance and can't wait to talk about my progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your most immediate questions? Welcome ... you're at the right place. It's a red conquest. It's been sitting for a couple of years due to my dad dealing with cancer. What are common problems areas for these cars? It' s only had basic maintenance done as for the restoration. I'm thinking of keeping it stock mostly but with some modern upgrades such as suspension, interior,and maybe some engine mods. Nothing too crazy. I appreciate the warm welcome and will update once I tear into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted Thursday at 10:36 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:36 AM Welcome newguy! When you say you are restoring what is the goal? Just get it running well then minor mods? Does it run now? Paint job? Or rust repair ... interior isn't so good? Pictures please 😎 We are here to help and advise as best we can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newguy20 Posted Thursday at 03:37 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:37 PM I want to get it running and just have a fun weekend car. I want to restore it to original color. The paint is a little faded. It's in storage right now and I gotta get a trailer to get it. Once I do I'll definitely post pictures. The last I remembered the interior was pretty good for an over 30 year old car. I want to do minor mods to it, but you know how that goes,.once you start it's hard to stop. Last I check it runs but would die once you step on the gas and the frame has some rust on it being in Indiana. The big thing is finishing what my dad started and just remembering the good times. He was a Mopar guy and we started with a 75 dart him and I. This was another gem for him to try redoing. Shoot the man loved this era. He drove an 87 ram/raider truck. Thanks for.any help y'all can give 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
