My story:
The first time i saw this car is when the previous owner brought it to me for a timing belt service back in about 2003. He bought it from the original owner who was a relative of his. After i did the timing belt for him, he continued to bring it back to me for various upgrades for next few years, including the TT conversion which i completed on the original NA engine in 2004-2005. A couple years ago he broke some pistons and the car was put in storage. While in storage, he purchased his fathers RT/TT and lost interest in getting this running again, but wanted it to go to a good home.
Ive always loved this car so it was at that point i made him an offer to buy it and he accepted. In Sept of 09 i made a trip up to Mn and spent 2 weeks building and installing the 4 bolt engine for it and drove it back home to Tn. Along with the car, i got all the service records and reciepts from him and the original owner. Im happy to have rescued this car from what could have been any number of other fates. Here are some more pictures i have taken of it. http://s646.photobucket.com/albums/uu190/thebatmovile/White%20car/?albumview=slideshow
