MK2: Project "Hooptie"

[AMGwheelwhore]

Pretty much have done all I wanted to do to my W124 for now so I decided I needed a new project. I searched craigslist high and low for a cheap W123 but stumbled upon a red mk2, it was pictured rocking some porsche 7 slots which I think are ugly as hell, so we struck a deal if I brought my own wheels he would take $700 off his asking price. So test drove it loved the crap out of it, couldn't stop smiling, so I bought it for $700, tax return payed for the whole thing! The car is a 91 Jetta GL base with a 1.8L and a manual gearbox, car has currently 165k on the clock, already lowered on h&r springs and koni shocks, had a "trendy" rusted hood with hood pins that I quickly removed and picked up a new hood for free off of craigslist.

Future plans:
Adapters
Wheels
Flares (should be here next week)
Raceland coilovers
Re-do the headliner

Heres how it looked when I went to pick it up...



Bought some crap ass steelies for $100 bucks to get her home, turned out the tires on them were some crap as well and I legit drove 55 down I-95 for the first time in my life. Finally had some time last night to detail the car and heres how it turned out. Iphone ftw!






Here are the wheel options I have lying around in my storage room...


Vette Salad Shooters (will be painted a creme color soon)


Reverse Mounted Enkei's 15x7/8.5 Negative offsets


And lastly these Gotti J55A's Ive been building 16x9/10.5 or 16x9 square set fully polished.

I think they are the obvious choice, the salad shooters will be for winter mode.

Here is what I did with the "trendy" hood... Boom free wall art haha I thought it turned out cool.

[Mr.GTI]

did you do the pin striping?

[justaneffer]

all i saw was "what wheels should i go for? the enkei's, the enkei's, or the enkei's?" this thing looks promising.

As of today, this is how she sits...

No the previous owners buddy who was a tattoo artist did the striping.

all i saw was "what wheels should i go for? the enkei's, the enkei's, or the enkei's?" this thing looks promising.

I test fitted the enkei's and they poke like no other, to make them work Im going to need either really thin adapters or a fill in drill...

As of today, this is how she sits...

Looks great bro, needs a front lip, or go all out and get a c36 front bumper, also loved those 18" AMGs off an SL!
