1992 VW Cabriolet with engine swap + many upgrades
This cherry 1992 VW Cabriolet - featuring the iconic MkI (aka A1) body - has had a significant amount of work performed to make it quick & super nimble; this includes:
Inside, the front seats have been replaced with Recaro sport seats, entire interior custom reupholstered, new door & window seals and new speakers installed. Additionally the suspension was redone to make the car ride very tight; it rides on rails, like a go kart!
Overall, I've invested on the order of $15k in this car since 2004. So why am I selling? I originally purchased the car with the purpose of rebuilding it for racing and autocross; that, and I'd always been a huge fan of the MkI Cabriolet. The car was rebuilt in 2005-06, and although I did race a half day at Thunderhill, haven't had time since and have only put ~5k miles on the car since then. These days I have scant time/interest in racing, and we really have no need for a second car, so for good or bad I'll be letting her go
