So the girlfriend & I finally picked up her new car last week. We haven't got around to a proper photo shoot, as the car needs a bit of work.
It's an '87 Cabby, original paint, couple nickle sized rust spots, but very good shape considering. The top is in very good condition. No holes, looks great.
I'm a little vague on some of the upgrades.
- 16v GTi engine
- Scirocco intake manifold (or maybe it was exhaust lol)
- An engine programmer; apparently it's a good one; I've posted a picture of it
- Corrado brakes
- Lowered - I 'think' on Koni's
- Magnaflow? exhaust ... Loud!
- Konig rims
It used to be a turbo'd car, with the battery re-located into the trunk.
It's a fun little go-cart, that is actually easier for Jenny to drive than my 337. Much shorter, and forgiving clutch. We've putted around Mission a bit with it, but need to resolve some issues.
Current problems:
- The seat rails, are broken & non-existent.
- Leaking anti-freeze
- CD/Stereo lights up, can't get it to play sound.
- Keys get stuck in both lock mechanisms, won't unlock. AMA guy got the keys out for it last night.
Anyway onto the impromptu pictures. It's dirty, needs a wash/wax/clay-bar.
Inspiration.
Initial plans, are to get back in top shape. Then perhaps next summer, get some RS rep's. I welcome, any insight, or advice.
Cheers

I believe that SDS kit is made by a local calgary comapny and I have heard they are rather good. If you haven't found it yet 
If it's smoken it ain't broken
