'New' addition, now what to do with the '77

[ztype at hotmail.com (Carl Martinez)]

  After spending the better part of the weekend looking through newspapers 
and dealerships, I brought home a '96 gti. It's 2.0 begs to be swapped for 
more displacement. The shifter doesn't hunt, but it feels like my old Bug 
with it's factory throw, and that exhaust, yeah, stock as well.
  Four-wheel discs are quite nice, but since I'll be swapping out the brake 
fluid, why not add a set of ss lines, right? The factory 14" wheels with 
205/60's for some reason look like a set of 70's on 13"s, but they handle 
nicely.
  A quick check on Carfax didn't show anything except 
dealer/owner/dealer/dealer, so what's with all the overspray? And just how 
much rust is on the underside?
  Back to that displacement. While hunting around I tried out a Jetta with 
the VR6, and that felt nice! Whatever I do with the gti, I doubt I'm going 
to do a VR6 swap with it (tempted), but with a golf1 or 2 shell, oh yeah.  
Would that fit under the hood of an early Scirocco? Has that been done?

  I almost feel like I've betrayed the '77, kind of wanted to keep that. But 
after having water sloshing around in the doors from the last rainstorms I 
was in back in Arizona, I need an all-weather daily driver, and so the gti. 
I just wish I could swap out the suspension mods into the newer car. At this 
point tho', I need to either pull what I can for any future project and have 
the body hauled off, or sell it to someone else with the space for it.
