This is way off topic, and I'm sure the answer is going to be "run away", but I've been browsing the MK1 GTIs for a while and this one has popped up:
http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?...oject-Grey-Hair Seems like a great start, and pretty cheap. But... how hard would it be to get it registered in California? Anyone have any ideas? -Steve Attached image(s) |

Here's the problem...
To import it into California, DMV will do a VIN inspection. During this inspection they will discover the engine swap and you will be fuched. I have imported twice and they always look at the engine. If it were already in CA then I would say go for it. |
