Thought i'd throw up some pics of my Jetta.

Being working on it on and off for the last year. This is what it started off like:
The original engine was siezed so I put in a 1.6td. There was nothing left of the original exhaust, so i made up a straight through one. The original tank fell apart above me, and showered me in diesel, so that had to be changed too, Picked up a spotless one from Neil. Changed the rubber part of the fuel lines while i was at it, as they'd seen better days. Engine got a decent going over, and is running spot on now.
I waxoiled the underneath of the car, even though it was very solid, just to keep it that way! It needed a small bit of welding below the rear screen and above the rear number plate. Body work hasn't got a whole lot of loving, but i've given it a good clean and got the heat gun at the back bumper. Will fit a new drivers door and wing when i get the money. The Lights were all broken, so i had to get a full set off Neil, which were in perfect condition and finished it off well.
Back axle was rebuilt, I re-used original front callipers, new flexable brake hoses, and fitted a 16v servo and master cylinder recently. Its stopping well but i think i'll try and get a set of gti callipers for it.
I fitted a set of corrado seats inside, which still need to be finished off with a bit of carpet around them.

Going to put a set of cheap coilovers on it, a set of arches and hopefully a front bumper, if anyone has anything knocking about let me know!
