    UK Car- Mk2 Jetta GTI 16v

    '87 Jetta GTI 16v

    this Jetta is my most recent purchase

    Bought as a doner for the GT and also as a track toy. Its completely standard and will not be abused but used! It will serve as a good tool to get back to form and improve somewhat before I get my Golf Syncro out on the track. A few cheap and simple mods and plenty of smiles for the money!











    2nd post:

    so..... the parts collection is in full swing

    i have removed the knackered interior (which ill be using parts for the GT Special) and fitted a late GL interior./ This cost me £20 for the rear seat as im borrowing most of my brothers Golf GL interior

    Im awaiting a pair of 14k powerflex bushed wishbones and rear beam bushes £65

    Eibach -40mm springs, weitec rears and spax fronts with a years use £90

    stainless powerflex exhaust (i mmight have to mod the tailpipe as it came from a big bumper model) £105


    post 3:

    The suspension is on worth the addition of front Bonrath poly top mounts. Still loads to do, but its had a damn good clean and I robbed the wheels from the Syncro. Ive also fitted the seats from an '88 Jetta GTI 16v (im looking for manual cards as I dont want electrics)





    Here it is at DC09

    As I have said before,the MK2 Jetta is a classic,and put VW on the map in a lot of countries.
    What a pity it was never sold in Australia.
    I beleive a few have been imported in,but I am yet to see one here.
