That's the easy part.  Getting it into the U.S,  or trying to get hold of those drive line componentents in complete form is the hard part.

Man, that would be the bee's knee's if you could drop a franken or a hot m-tdi into it.

Got a lead for contact?  I am chasing that Golf Country now (with it's definitely off-roady flavour), but would rather a Rallye any day.

You are now on my forever grateful list....and my wife's ultimate *** list.  Made a deal with the owner today, and will fly out Monday and pick up the Country.  It is all that much worse because I am on the road right now, and Wifey has to do all of the banking and arranging to get it.

Stewardc:  

Many thanks. I will call him after the new year.  Have to let the furor die down a bit after the Country (which I will probably go TD with some day).  There are now three A2s in the driveway (and two Sciroccos, an A3 and Mamma's A4, not to mention the cars out in the storage area!) so a fourth A2 immediately might be pushing it a bit.

That kicks ass!!

I am glad you got it :)

You are going to be living under a microscope for a while now buddy.  There are going to be a lot of people here with a lot of interest in your new toy.

I hope you have a digital camera.  I want to see some 4-wheel video!

I'm glad I found this thread after it sold...I can think of a long list of illegal & immoral things I'd do to get my hands on one of those, and I don't need more reasons to get into trouble...

Congrats & glad a diesel fan ot it. Start with the conversion plans asap, you'll have a jealous cult following here :lol:

I imagine he will let the auction run until Monday AM when I hand him the cheque.  I think he was stiffed on the last go-around, and wanted to keep his prospects lined up.

The car looked a lot better than it really is (being German and from Germany, there IS corrossion), but I took it anyhow because I wanted it.  Drove home fairly well, it is geared VERY short, is softly sprung and a bit leany when drifting throught the twisties on the Rogers Pass.  All-in-all, this thing seems to be screaming for a 1.6TD with maybe 90 HP, and to be kept down to the resulting low speed range.

slap in a 6 speed box... make 1st a nice low gear for getting out of trouble, and 6th a nice tall cruising gear... for the others... anything goes?  :twisted:  that would be sweet!!!

doesn't look like too much corrosion but then again its probably all underneath.  any restorative plans or just in with the 1.6TD and off she goes?

does this thing have locking diffs???  curious  :)
