Big Al Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) I've been debating this for a few months now and it has become apparent I can no longer afford her. It kills me to have to do this since I've poured quite a bit of cash and even more blood sweat and tears into her but I think it's time I moved on. She's on a fresh rebuild (less than 5k miles on a fresh engine). As for the car itself, it's a red one with a flat black hood. Rear louvres, dark tint on the rear glass and legal tint on the door windows. Engine is recently rebuilt and here's the list of mods: MSD Blaster 2 coil NJV head Mechanical lifters 1mm oversized valves 4 angle valve job 52mm TB intake bored to match partial port and polish on the head Wiseco forged pistons block bored .020 crank turned .020 Dad's race prepped rods K&N filter in a slightly modded air box BS elimination 14G turbo with less than 10k on it ARP head studs EGR delete with block off plate charcoal canister removed Blitz BOV EGT guage Aftermarket boost and oil pressure guages 3" turbo back exhaust by Mookeh Pistons are full floating front and rear strut bars by Mookeh ACT clutch silicon vac lines NGK wires and plugs I think that concludes the list of mods and work done to the engine. I'll edit the list if I remember anything else and Dad can vouche for the parts I bought from him for the rebuild I'm sure. The interior is probably one of the better interiors you'll find. I've gone to great lengths to try to bring it back as close as I could to perfect. The driver's seat shows only the wear in the center of the bottom and a little wear on the side bolster. I keep the leather conditioned to keep it from getting any worse. The rear seats are near perfect. Th only thing you'll need to do is add a stereo. I will be leaving the speakers in but the head unit and and subs are going to be in the bug eventually. I have recently repainted the hood and the rear louvres as they desperately needed a touch up. I have pics on here somewhere and I will take a few more and post them when I get a chance. I'm still on the fence about selling her but with the fresh build and the enormous amount of spare parts I have lying around that go with her (bring a truck you'll need it), she's WELL worth the asking price. If there are any questions feel free to ask and I'll answer as soon as I can. Please be serious as I really don't have time for tire kicking and people calling "dibs". First with cash gets the clean title in hand. I also may lower the price if a considerable amount of spare parts that I have start disappearing through sales in the parts section. Thanks for looking pics to come soon. http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc165/Socially_Unacceptable/Conquest/Conquest001.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc165/Socially_Unacceptable/Conquest/Riointerior011.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc165/Socially_Unacceptable/Conquest/Riointerior010.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc165/Socially_Unacceptable/Conquest/Riointerior012.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc165/Socially_Unacceptable/Conquest/Riointerior002.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc165/Socially_Unacceptable/Conquest/Riointerior001.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc165/Socially_Unacceptable/Conquest/Riointerior003.jpg Edited July 13, 2008 by Big Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Wish I didn't have to but not much choice at the moment. Time and funding isn't there anymore. Also the flat black has been repainted on both the rear louvres and the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marso Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Why were you trying to buy mine a while back? You have a nice car already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Why were you trying to buy mine a while back? You have a nice car already. The GF wanted one after driving one herself. I was trying to get one for her but circumstances change and now I'm trying to get a place to live so the car needs to go one way or another. I don't drive it since I got the '72 Super Beetle so it's up on the chopping block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenquestTSI Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 dude, do what i do and when circumstances get tight like that......simply pretend you dont have it. Then you'll figure out some other way to keep this car. i like your car man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 If only it were that easy. I can't pass up the deal on this boat and I can't find a co-signer for a loan and my credit sucks at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 All right last price drop. $3750 for the car by itself no extra parts. I'll be starting the little bit of work necessary to get her back to 100% soon and the price will go back up once I finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
