1990 Jetta coupe: Daily/winter beater

[Colbskee]

Got this car for $700.

Has Coils, single rounds and its a coupe.. which is awesome.. anyway.






then i got some wheels, changed the tail light center piece to one off a GTX, and put newer door handles on. At this point it's not much of a build, more like im just making it my own.





Sorry for the poor quality of the pics.


Anyway, that's my "build" at this point. Hope you enjoy.

Don't worry, once winter is through, it will be going lower.. much much lower.

Thanks dude.

[hinrichs]

great start so far

[Colbskee]

Some more lows and i rolled the fenders some more. Had to remove the rear arch thingers though cause it rubbed like a bitch on them.




Enjoy.

Tip: remove the mudflaps.

The car when you bought it looked crappy, It's getting much better now!

I am coming to discover that my wheels are actually pretty rare Centra wheels. Kinda stoked on that.

you live in victoria, your winter is just rain. spin those coils down!

[Colbskee]

Haha well im headin back to saskatoon for a bit, so gotta keep it like this for the drive.

Ordering tie rod flip kit on payday, and possibly balljoint extenders.

I also need smaller tires, something like 175/55/15

[Colbskee]

Took a heat gun to the bumpers and removed the center cap stickers.
Wheels are in fact the rare centra meshies i thought they were.




Bumpers didn't turn out quite how i wanted, so i'll redo them with some leather dye.
