oh yeah they're fun and unique... when they catch fire, when the check engine light goes from code to code to code just to be capricious, they are NOT easy to work on and as for modifying, it's too bad so many VW 'enthusiasts' have such questionable tastes.
they're like every other fucking machine built by man- a fucking wonderful thing when it works and evil cunt bitch whore asshole when it doesn't. Anything in between is parked between wishful thinking and fantasy.
it's all junk. all of it. muscle cars, model t's, exotics... it's all bullshit we surround ourselves with to make ourselves feel wonderful about our lives and then we drop trousers at the drop of a comment to defend them. Fuck it. Fuck it all.

So salty and again talking out of your ass
The mk4 has to be the easiest platform to work on ever it's so simple and easy to do. Not everything rots to hell like on an gm or Hyundai. Mk3 on th I the other hand is rot city.
Only things that are complicating are the audis with timing chain issues or any v10 tdi etc
Bmw are also quite reliable. More expensive in parts but over all a solid reliable car.
Mercedes has reliable engines. The rest not so much

do you really think for one minute I give or have ever given a fuck about your opinion or anything that comes out of your face? I have more automotive experience in one of my balls than you will ever have. You want to know something, and I even learned this lesson, princess... Just because you fucking like doesn't mean it's really that good.
It's all shit. All of it.

there was a company in the late 80's and early 90's named "Kamei" (or something like that) that made kits for just about anything boxy.
For anyone that is old enough to have driven an 83 Escort with an ATX, it's one of the most infuriating automatic transmissions ever made. First and second are too low and drive range is too damn high. So that 1.6L revs its guts out til about 45mph and then... dies.
That being an 83 model also means that it has a the interference head so when the timing belt snaps, the head goes buh-bye. That was cured in mid 85. Also, this generation Escort ate brakes and front end pieces like they were free. My mom must've changed tie rods and ball joints four times in the 115,000 miles she had her 85.5 Escort.
i'd give maybe $3k-3500 for this car.

The colour matched wheels and yellow calipers are awful, but the rest is pure perfection, one of my dream cars and a mint example at that.

Kamei made and still makes amazing things...

my father had a front air dam from them on his 83 Mustang GT.
As for that Pontiac LeMans that Junior posted (or was it a Can Am? or Grand Am?)... the family had a 75 LeMans coupe. When we got it in 1992, it had less than 20k original on it, has been driven to Keeseville NY from Coral Gables FL and parked by an elderly couple who ran it around during their summers here. My mom's ex-boyfriend bought it at an estate sale at a ridiculously low price. Other than the catalytic converter trying to catch the interior on fire, the car was amazingly trouble free and surprisingly good on gas for a big Pontiac 350 V8.

I had a friend in high school who had one on his 80-something Corolla. We ribbed him mercilessly about it.

it actually looked good on this car. I have a printed pic of an older scan in my photoalbum of the car. It looked nice.

Thinking back, you're right. If it didn't have the Kamei logo on it, I would have mistook it for OEM.
