FS 1980 VW rabbit 2.o turbo, #814

Post by Blindfaith »

Soooooo, after my day on the dyno I have decided to try and sell the rabbit.

Projects thread viewtopic.php?f=44&t=7973

First off engine has problems, runs idles fine, but as soon as there is any boost, smokes badly, blueish oil smoke. Could be rings, turbo, head gasket no idea.
Also, this is a race car not show car so some things are zip tied or self tapped. Could be inspected I guess, doesn't have a heater or back up lights.
I know the price is a little high but I have a ton of time and money invested
Not willing to part anything out yet
NO TRADES
Will deliver to within 50 miles of Milton for free
Car is very competitive in Prepared 2
