Awesome Jetta! You got distracted by Golfs?

[Jarred]

that is one mighty sexy jetta! I'm sure you'll finish it one day! hahah

[dubbed_up_daz]

pretty much,I spend segments of time on it when I build up enough enthusiasm but its really just something to play with if I have free time.Ive had it built up almost three times over 15 or so years then decide to try something else and end up stripping it to its shell.Building up bits for a final assembly though so the next time it goes together its got to be how I want it but I can guarantee its never going to be finished

[Jace]

All these garages full of your MK1's?

[dubbed_up_daz]

hahaha,no ive just got the two mk1's just now,jetta is in that garage while the golf is in my sisters drive awaiting the new parts coming.I want to put a vr6 in my mk2 to get an idea of the stumbling blocks before I do the jetta

which is now like this






kept finding little bits off the original maroonrot and I wanted it too look like it came from the factory dragon green,found a bit rust which I got carried away cutting out but its back in the garage just now with a random covering off paint while I build up more parts and momentum. Changing priorities meant I no longer wanted a screaming solid mounted valver in it.When its done I want kinda factory levels of comfort,mountains of torque and a nice long distance cruising experience

yes im basically getting old

You can't be getting that old. You're building a comfy long distance cruiser, when you could much more easily just have bought one.
