project dsm (or daily driver with work) 91 tsi awd
I’ve got a 91 talon tsi that’s been sitting in my side driveway for almost 18 months now.
note, when it arrived it was running well, has an auto tranny that shifts great.
My friend and I pulled the head to replace the gasket, and pretty much never got around to reassembling it. also, one bolt broke off in the block. It sat with nothing but the hood covering the pistons for about 3 months, then got a car cover for the past 10 or so.
other bad stuff:
- parts that were removed are on a table in the garage, jumbled together.
- flat driver’s rear tire, probably valve stem
- hood and roof have been stripped of paint and spray primered (very crappy job, little surface rust at the driver’s corner of the hood where the primer rubbed off)
- rear spoiler collects water (normal?)
- a crowbar looking hole in the driver’s side door jam from a break-in sometime in the past (previous owner)
good stuff:
- car was running fine before the head was pulled.
- interior is leather (or vinyl?) and in excellent condition.
- you get a free car cover
- 14 second daily driver once the engine is rebuilt, faster with a bigger turbo.
- all wheel drive
I haven’t even looked at it in the past 2 months, but i think the mileage is in the 120k range? it has cali plates that expired a few years ago, and I will have the title in hand shortly.
looking for 1k picked up in northern va, about 15 miles west of 495. I’m sure the engine can be pulled and cleaned up, broken bolt removed, and put back together to have a running beater.
I’d consider a trade for a running car with an auto (daily driver).
