Hi there folks, my name is Oscar, I live in Uruguay, and im the happy owner of one of the only 2 GTI6´s that ever arrived to the streets of Uruguay. There is a 3rd one, but never reached the streets, went straight to rally competition.
Its a 97´ ph2 S16, here in Uruguay it´s called S16 just like in France, but it´s the exact same as the GTI6, XU10J4RS with BE3/6.
2 months ago, I rebuild completely the front end and the rear beam, all new original parts except for bushes, all powerflex, and citroen vts´s front springs to lower it just a little bit. Also new valeo clutch, new cable, seals, new crankshaft seal, everything I could change, I did. Still havnet finished with it, have to do a couple more things, and then time for painting it.
My idea is to keep it as new and original as possible (though I have some upgrades in mind, but all reversible), cause its a very rare car not only in this country (only 2) but in the whole region, and my idea is to keep it lets say, for ever!!
Well, a couple of pics
