Gtdhw Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hello all from Indiana. Just picked up an '87 TSi last week (my first). It's been a "bucket list car" since I was in high school in the early '90's. I've had quite a few Daytona Turbo Z's, and always wanted one of these. Still searching the FAQ's, as I have a few small things that need attention... I am in the process of making it "mine". Just tinted the windows, new (correct size) tires an all 4 corners, some wheel refurbishing, and a good overall clean/polish is what I've spent the first week of ownership on. It's turning out to be the car I always wanted/pictured, and I'm pretty sure that I snagged me a "good" one. Not perfect, but a nice car...

Gtdhw Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks guys. Quick question (that I haven't any lucky finding on here yet)...how do I remove the rear bumper? I see the two bolts on either side under the car, but not the top bolts? I assume by looking at it, that the cover comes off first? Again, I see the bolt/strip along the bottom, and the two outer screws, but how does the top attach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Open hatch Lift the floor revealing the spare tire. 2 bolts go straight down Besides the 2 underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills89quest Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Welcome.. Nice looking 87. Are you keeping it stock or what's your plans with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtdhw Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 My plans are to make it as close to showroom original as I can. It will probably be the only "toy" street car that I've ever owned that will not have an aftermarket stereo, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills89quest Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 nice...lol. Not very many that people keep as close to original as possible, that's cool that you are doing that. Good luck with it, and it looks like you have a great starting point. That's one of the cleaner 87s I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcristquester Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Download the FSM and Parts Locator and between the 2 and looking at the car, you'll be able to determine dis/reassembly for almost everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
