Alright soo i have decided to post up a little progress thread on my jetta.. will soo be a year i own it, but now beeing i work at home on the computer all day...lets just say i have a little more time to spend on this.
Ive already had other posts on other forums about my cars but this will be the first on MR. lots has been done soo ill slowly update it to the current state.
To give a little backround before..this is my 3rd vw diesel, ive already had a mk4 golf and recently a mk2 1.6 that i swapped a tdi into with other goodies..
Anyways..if we go a year back, i owned my mk2 and i was driving a 97 tercel as a beater for winter..the tercel was a shitbox and it was time to upgrade the daily so i found a 1 owner 2000 jetta for sale in Upton(1 hour away from Montreal). the add had just been posted up and i called him and went to see the car the same night (was like 10pm and the coldest day of winter last year). go to see it and the man had all the receipts and the car was absolutely spotless with all the maintenance up to date at 330000km on the odometer.
this is what it looked like when i brought it home (end of February 2015):
was super clean, had some vw rust repair done to it under warranty, not much to be done to it tho. Had Hids(that i removed because I hate on halogen lights) and aftermarket headunit with the car prewired for a sub. Got it for a great price!!
Anyways moving on a couple weeks...i had put up my Mk2 for sale during the winter for a decent price and someone bought it 1 week before i was going to take it out of storage...soo that was gone too and i was just left with my newly acquired daily..
For those wondering..here is some info on what i had done to it: https://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=409814
With the extra money from the mk2(i was going to get a 67 beetle but the seller wasnt able to give me a price for it soo i moved on..) i decided to spend a bit on the mk4 and make it look a bit nicer...
I got a set of Fk coilovers, gli tails and headlights(got rid of the nasty fogs) and also traded a mk2 gli rear disk conversion against a gli valance kit. Also found a good deal on a set of r32 aristos and got hid of the nasty summer wheels that came with the car.
beginning of summer she looked like this,
did a muffler delete and got myself a rear window visor and 3inch exhaust tip to compliment to the gli look..
Also to mention i had a evolution skid plate( a must imo for a slammed mk4). front coilovers were at the lowest adjustment with the helper springs still in.
