Hi lads, was looking for a good jetta for a while now , as you know I ve been driving bmw for 1.5 years and really missed the vw so decided to get myself a jetta
Image
. I came across very fresh add today on donedeal and went to have a look at the car straight away, even tho it was darkish and raining and guess what ? I ended up driving it back home
Image
with no wipers and blower working which gave up 1hr before my arrival ( ya know well whats the weather like today haha
Image
), anyway drove it home 60km tonite and I absolutely love it ! The interior and exterior is very clean, engine starts on the button and is poky enough , not even one rattle or knock ! Was serviced two days ago along with new battery. Mechanicaly 100% and feels new to drive, gearbox very tight. The underbody is cleaner than my mk3 !, perfect floor and sills !. The only rust I could find is small bit on scuttle panel
Image
. Few stonechips and other marks on the car , but nothing to worry about
Image
.

Anyway its a 1.6D with 235kmiles on it , I have old log book for it , theres 3 owners on it , the last owner had it for 15 years ! There is original service book for it and owners manual
Image
. She has powersteering and nice darkish interior
Image
. The plans are to clean it ( not huge job
Image
) , take the tow bar of ( first thing tomorrow haha ) and then probably some weellers , 13 or 14s maybe 15s , coilovers, camber shims, german plates, laminax etc. I am very happy
Image
. Didnt take any pics of it yet as its kind of nite now
Image
haha , but will tomorrow. For now I have few pics from add.

my old jetta was that colour aswell imo that colour is way nicer than red and alot less common
good luck

I like red jettas, but blue is ok too, once I give her a wash and some tire dresser it will look much better

Image

No rush

QUOTE (DubTechAndy @ Feb 6 2011, 12:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Seems like a decent little car there kamil, Petrol blue is the colour.
Thats what you should have been looking for in the beginning, a cl project..
Its no GL but its a decent start.
Any parts you need give me a shout..
Thanks Andy , yeah its far from GL , but money was good so I cant be picky.
You are right that I should look for something like that at the beginnin, but good that I had a look at other options as well
Image


Yeah I will need few bits ! , will let ya know !
Actually , today when I was openin her , something fell off the back of the handle and dropped inside the door , and the lock came out with the key ?
Is that easy fix ?

Manky weather again today, so I didnt wash her
Image
. But took the hoover out and gave her a good clean, also got rid of the nasty seat covers.
Took different bits out from the dash just to clean them up. I plan to wash all the interior soon.
Image

Image

Tried to take the tow bar off , but gave up
Image
, removed two bolts and wasnt bothered to take the rest, so I will just get the grinder out.
Also noticed brand new shiny backbox
Image


Image

Image

Image

Log book
Image

service book
Image


If u want to see some updates u need to be patient
Image
, this will take a while haha but we will get there
