Hi everyone ! I'm Maxime from Paris, I already have a build thread about my little Peugeot 106 Rallye :
A month ago , I found this unfinished VR6 swap for a decent price. Here is the details
I found this gem on internet. A 87' Jetta Coupe VR powered. As far as I know, the Jetta Coupe was not available here in France so you can conclude that for French VW lovers this is a kind of unicorn.
The car was imported from Germany with 260 000km on the clok powered by a 1.3L 55hp. Then it was swapped with a 2.8 rebuilt VR6. The car was sold at a very fair price even if there is a lot of work to do.
To resume the wiring is real pain in the a**. It looks like the previous owner was just aiming to get the engine installed and running without bearing in mind all electronical component : the fan is working all the time even when the cars is not running , no heat , no cluster
By the way here is the spec list :
Engine
- 2.8 175hp VR6
- 2.9 exhaust manifold
- VW Performance muffler (look like a muffler from a Mk1)
- Decat stainless exhaut
Chassis
- Golf MK2 G60 front axle with G60 brakes
- Golf MK2 G60 rear axel with G60 brakes
- Coilovers
Interior
- Recaro front and rear seats from a Golf Mk3 GTi
Wheels :
- Front 7.5x15 Borbet wrapped in 195/45
- Rear 9x15 Borbet wrapped in 215/45
