My new project, to be started on soon:

ha ha congrats i read the account on your webpage!
i love it when a plan comes together

 

There's one sick puppy there (Panel beater)

 

Rare car now, Best of luck with it.
Welcome to the site too!?

 

Welcome snowfruit, best of luck with the Jetta

 

nice... is she diesel.... i been lookin for another one in that nick for free but i just cant..... nice clean example.... with a bit of elbo grease.

 

I suspect she id probably a Diesel - not 100% sure.

And with a wash it'll look 10 times better - let alone once I get started on the lowering and recolouring side

 

ah no leave it beige.... i think it wud be class....

 

Cool car! best of luck with it!

 

Keep it beige for sure

 

just lower it and ....DRIVE

 

I'm guessing it's a petrol model but then the tow-bar could indicate a farming history...

Is it dry on the inside?

good luck with the project.

Dont forget about wheels .
Wide and low

 

Here's a pic of the engine bay. Not sure if its a diesel or petrol... I have been told people think its a diesel?

In regard to the stance, wheels must be deep - possibly widened steels if I can find some where to get them done, arches rolled, and certainly a serious drop, not sure how low but as low as I can without losing my under carriage on Kerry roads.

Suggestions for lowering kits? What kits are preferred on Mk1 Jettas on a moderate budget (all expenses have to be passed by the wife

)

 

That's a daysel engine

 

Thanks Geo, that clears that up

Not a big problem as it won't be used for a while yet anyway. Eventually I would like to go for a 1.8T - I like turbocharged engines.

 

nice to see the jettas comming into form. have 2 on the back burner for future projects. maybe when the tdi conversion becomes more common and easier to do????

 

YEP THATS THE 1.6 DIESEL NO TURBO VARIANT!
HEAVY AS FOOK!
BUT AT LEAST THE ENGINE MOUNTS ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE FOR A GTI OR 20VT CONVERSION!

 

QUOTEall expenses have to be passed by the wife

Look like a great project

All the best with it

Don't tell her I said that

 

best of luck with it, i used to own that car, i got it for free too and then gave it away.

do you know the engine is wanked?

 

He didn't even know if it was petrol or diesel so I doubt it Ronan

 

PMSL at this thread, only reading through it now
