This is my 1987 VW Cabriolet...I got it for about 1000 dollars almost a year ago. Its got an 1.8l 8v engine connected to a manual 5 speed. (It rips) All these pics are kinda old...they are from when I bought it...new pics soon!

I just put on my new TT exhaust and its so nice...good sound when Im gettin on the gas but a nice quite tone when Im just cruzing along. It was only like 210 dollars shipped to my door...and it had everything I needed!... :-)

HELP ME!!!

Ok scrap that turbo idea...I think a VR6 is in need! If done a shit load of research about putting a VR6 into an MK1 and I found it is very posible. So I am going for it! As soon as its warm enough to work on my car I am finding a VR6 donor car...Id like to do a 24v VR6 but 12vs are a lot easier to find so I guess we will wait and see. If you have any information on this swap please help me out.
