[wtb] 3a block & 5-spoke wheels (possible trade feeler)

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

The '85 Scirocco 1.8T/Tec3, that I'm picking up on Thursday, is supposed to
have those wheels on it. If the wheels are in good condition, I'd sell the
set for $100, and I'd accept a set of straight 100mm late A1 hub carriers as
a partial trade.

Thanks Dave Winchell, for hooking me up with the car!

$300 is a good deal for the 3A long-block, if it includes the ignition
distributor, the injectors, the intake manifold, and the injector
hold-downs. I have a 3A long block in my '83 GTI, and it's the ideal 8V
engine for the Mk.1 Scirocco.

I just drove a stock '78 Champagne Edition Scirocco, Jeff Smith's new
Scirocco, and it's the slowest Volkswagen I've ever driven, and Jeff agrees.
I don't know what's up with this car, but it's not the engine, because I've
driven several other '78 Scirocco 1.5L's and they ran very close to a 1.6L.
The Steve Langford turbo kit I sold him should change that... ;)

   i'm looking to upgrade my tow vehicle to a 3a block. a local yard has an
'88 80, but they're wanting $300 for the complete engine. i'm hoping that
someone on the list might have one from an aborted swap. buying it outright
is an option, but i also know of a 16v GLi for parts (good drivetrain, swiss
cheese body). if someone was willing, i'd be more than happy to trade block
for complete engine and harness. might also throw in other parts as well.
  i also am looking for a set of 13" 5-spoke, twisted star alloys. they are
genuine vw but difficult to find. i've been looking for a set for a number
of years now with no luck. i can send a photo of them. again, i'd be
interested in purchasing them outright, but i know the GLi also has a nice
set of 15" BBS (not corrado) wheels that should be worth more than trade.
   i'd rather swap parts than spend the money; everyone gets something they
want. nevertheless, if you have either of those items, please let me know.
i'm located in the mid-west (ohio) and would be willing to put a couple
hours into traveling if necessary. thanx.
