A complete engine rebuild was done about 6100 miles ago (9,800 Km)
During the rebuild we installed: a new cam, new air intakes, new
cylinder head, an used (but newer than original) S1 Elbow joint, and a
Turbo-rebuild.
Also installed at the time: a new radiator, special racing spark plugs,
and a new retainer for the crankcase breather system.
Total project cost for the rebuild was over $6k
Receipts available.
Total cost for the conversion, including the vehicle costs have run to
an estimated 43,000 Euros (about $43,000 US).
This car has won several awards for best of show (Coupe) at the Audi/VW

I retain the the right to sell this car outside the ebay-Auction.
I will consider another car as a possible partial-trade, eventually
(gives the indication that he might for the right car, if this one
doesn't sell as fast as he'd like).
