Noobie Here !!
 
Hello all, And Happy New Year to all of you. Name here is Robert, I live in New MIlford, CT. Its abot 70 mi north of New York City. I just purchased a 1987 Volkswagon Cabriolet Covertable, from a friend of mine. This dude didnt keep very good care of it, but it has now become my little project car. I want a car that got great MPGs. I currently own a 2004 Nissan Xterra. Its a great SUV but I drive a total of about 42 mi per day for work. So I bought the V-Dub to help keep the miles off my X. My buddy that owned the V-dub before me like I said didnt really take very good care of it. It needs a new top, new exhaust, new water pump and while i've got that apart, a new timing belt. Leaks a little oil, but nothing bad at all. Could use new carpet. So for now its up on jack stands in my garage. I just put on a new exhaust, new down pipe, with the toliet bowl down pipe with the Spring Clamps (yeah that was fun, even with the special tool youll need to expand those things) new CAT , New O2 sensor, new pipes and muffler. Nice and quiet now. Next is the Water pump and timing belt. I have pic's that ill post up as this project continues. If there anyone out there that has the same or close to same year, any advice would be great ! Thanks again.....:)
