i'd like to find a mkIII golf, 4 dr, solid to moderate body, but with no motor, a blown motor, bad clutch, something like that. hopefully it was someone's daily driver and the maintenance has been kept up, but the motor let go and now someone wants to get rid of it.
i've found these kinds of cars before without a problem but now that i need one i can't seem to locate anything. maybe you've seen one at the side of the road or have a friend who has one he needs to get out of the driveway.
local to south western ontario would be nice.
bonus if its a CL or TD with 9.4" brakes.

You're not bored with the Kombi already, are you?.... :lol:
-
kombi: camper
mkIII: beater
different purposes ;)
i'm sick of punishing my rabbit.
(i knew it was only a matter of time before you'd be all over this one :lol: )
-
Seriously though, why MkIII?....thought you were a devout I and II follower?...
-
they are land barges...everything i don't want in a summer car, but what i need for a commuter...
quiet
comfortable
extra weight/reinforcement yields a safer vehicle in a crash than a rabbit (i know i can avoid almost anything in the rabbit, but a few times this year i've been caught in white-outs, and freezing rain... potential for unavoidable multi-car pile-ups)
consistantly working heater/wipers!!
but the parts are still cheap, they are becoming more abundant in junkyards, and many parts i currently have will interchange.
i don't need it to handle or be fun, just get me there comfortably. i might even put a stereo in this one :)
mkI vs. mkIII are completely different worlds.
if i find a suitable mkIII i can get the rabbit off the road and give it the attention it needs. it will then be a summer car instead of a year-rounder.

you guys are the best, thanks.
haha land barge is a bit strong... lets just say the mkIIIs had a little too much turkey dinner.
-
You are correct,the MKIII's are land barges !
A 1.6L NA seems pretty peppy in a MKII,yet you need a 1.9L TD in the MKIII to move it along.Where you realy notice it is when swapping from a MKIII to an older MKII chassis.I have built performance 1.9L's for a MKIII that were later swapped into a MKII,and it felt like you gained 20HP just due to the weight difference.

wyldman: hehe well going from a rabbit to a mkIII will be quite the adjustment for me then! :lol: tbh if i didn't have a girlfriend i'd stick it out in the rabbit, this a more of a safety/comfort thing for highway driving, especially in the winter.
monday mornings are busy, but i'll be in touch soon about former-TDs.
edit: you also found me on vhortex, i sent you a couple messages over there.

what do you want for the 94 i got a 93 that could use a body job or another body :idea:
-
$1500 for the 94.Body is clean,no rust.Paint is decent.I can send pics if needed.
It's up here in Ontario though. :cry:
-
thanks for all the pics wyldman. turns out the 94/97s are both jettas.
the 94 is perfect other than that its not a golf :lol:
has to be a golf. hoping 4-dr but i will settle for the right 2-dr.

It happened because I read his other post,on another board,where he mentioned he was looking for a 4 Dr MKIII.I missed the part about the Golf.Anyways,we may have him converted,as he may still be interested in the Jetta. :D
-
yeah i might give it a run with a jetta for a while. seats fold down so i can still fill it up with junk and dogs. :)
-
vehicle purchased! the 1994 jetter from wyldman.
thanks to bruce and andy for a few parts.
i need to gather some more bits and then the 1.6L TD will find its way into the mkIII pig. same engine in mkI, mkII, and now mkIII! i call it the work horse for a reason. :lol:
big thanks to wyldman for his co-operation.

The Black Tie Auto Baron strikes again... Congrats Lanny...but just how many vehicles are you up to now???......
-

*** no 7 i forgot the passat :lol:

-
"this one was actually seems like a wise purchase"...... this is a bit sloppy for a well educated college boy like you.. ..or have you been breathing diesel fumes :lol: ....J/K....hey it's Friday, won't send the Grammar Police after you....
-
