Title: Look at what I've been up to lately
Post by: 2strokesmoke on November 05, 2011, 09:50:07 am

Hey Guys,
I thought I would share my latest project with everyone.
I purchased an 88 Fox GL Wagon from a great guy in CT (JGW)
I had been looking for a family car,to fit my 2 younger boys (My Caddy only seats 2  :) )  The fox will serve as a winter car (to keep the Caddy away from snow and salt)
and daily transportation,when I need to take the boys with me.
I came across this car for sale in CT by PO JGW,who had been documenting a detailed build on the Vortex.
He installed a 1.6TD in place of the gasser. Exactly what I was looking for !
A diesel wagon !
Here is a link to the build on Vortex :

enjoy !
Mike

That's a neat car.  You got a good deal.  I'm glad someone is going to finish it.  And, as I'm sure you know, VW is practically giving away replacement parts for it.
