Few pics of one of my jettas.
I bought it last March as a stop gap car to keep me on the road after I sold my bmw and I have used it on and off since.
When I got it I fitted 2 new tyres, the old brakes off my mk2 gti 8v, a balljoint and a coolant hose, thermostat and a fuel pump seal and it hasn't needed anything since except diesel and the odd oil change.
243k on it now and still the engine is untouched.
I have to make a decision on what to do with it now though as it needs a clutch, rear brakes and a front shock or 2 to pass the nct. Probably not worth spending the time doing it but it would be a pity to scrap it as it is a great car (despite the appearance)
And some smart bastard decided to add the following
