Subject: Hmmmmm...
So I've been seeing the banter about engines tossed around, and today an odd
little chance came about today while perusing the junkyard. Not only did I
happen to find a 5000 S that I'm hoping still has the TB for the 'Rocco, I
also found a Mk1 steering wheel, black and in nice shape. Going back for the
latter tomorrow. But I also found two other things that are in unknown
shape... a 2.0 Crossflow in an A3 Golf, and a 2.0 16v in a manual Passat GL.
The 2.0 is missing its airbox and a couple little odds and ends, but most of
the important stuff, including the intake, head, and whatnot is there. I
didn't peek into the Passat's bay, but I'm gonna assume it's all there. I'm
oddly tempted to grab one or both of them(I WOULD if I had the money),
rebuild and then sell for a little cash, and/or use one in some kinda future
project(dreaming again)... hrm, the thoughts...
I'm mostly rambling here, but if anyone wants to toss in a thought or a
warning to avoid the things, feel free to. <=o)
