My sister totalled her GTI in 1990 (she drove very little). I pulled the engine and transmission and stuck them in my back yard,, separated, uncovered, and forgot about them. Recently the clutch disc fell out - it had rusted through!
I used to run a shop that specialized in VW & Audi in the 1980's. I believe we changed her 5th gear but there were no other mods to her car.
Is this worth anything?
Transmission - the shifter shaft moves properly, and the input shaft rotates when I twist the axle - that seems promising
Engine - there is a rag stuffed in the distributor hole - I did not twist the crank or flywheel (I would want to at least squirt some thin oil into the spark plug holes first

- If there is a little interest, I will post pictures.
- If there is moderate interest, I will verify if the engine turns and it the transmission seems OK.
- If there is an idiotic amount of interest, I can figure out how to ship this, but that does not seem likely.
