    It is time that I have to give this up...

    It is my Mk3 GTi i was building for NASA GTS3. Money has run out, agreements with certain people (nobody on here) were not carried out, so it has come to this.

    It is the VR6 model, so it comes stock with 5 lug hubs and 4 wheel discs. Fresh paint, raceland coilovers all way round with 350 ft. pd springs, 1.8t with 120k on it. Recent timing belt/waterpump performed. 4 bar FPR, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, Stage 2 Revo Immoblizer Defeated File, complete harness, instrument cluster, drive by wire pedal, Mk4 dash, 15 inch Avus wheels (lightest VW stock wheels made) with R888s mounted. Mk4 brake booster and ABS.

    It has a front bumper, but is currently black and is waiting to be painted to match the rest of the car. The windshield was removed for the cage to be welded in, but certain obligations were not met, so now it is missing the agreed cage and windshield. Sunroof was removed for a carbon or sheet metal delete to be placed in. Has been sitting inside a dry shop, so no rust anywhere. Most of the sound deadening has been removed.

    Needs to be done: Motor/trans put in, needs Mk3 motor mounts (think 2.0), axles need to be custom cut and balanced, wiring harness needs to be placed in, needs a seat and a windshield.

    I would love to keep this and finish for myself, but with the economy in the crapper and tight money and nowhere to keep this, I need to part ways with it. I was told by the person I bought the shell off of, that it came with a title, but he would need to find it at his house. I wasnt really concerned by it because it was going to be a full fledged race car that would never see the street. I can get the title if it is going to be a street car.

    Asking $1500, in Atlanta (more specific, Road Atlanta)
