MK1 Jetta Coupe, my new girlfriend...

[C.T.]

Greetings all, this is my new project, a 1984 Volkswagen Jetta Coupe. I picked her up for 500 bones and a set of BBS RZ's over the weekend. It came with a boatload of parts, most importantly including a solid ABA motor with a good tranny. Also some Tan leather seats from a Corrado, front and rear... Real stoked on those. The body is good for the most part, surface rust here and there, and a small dent on the hood, nothing that can't be fixed. I'm only short a few parts for the swap, hoping to drop the motor in soon. Here's some eyecandy for everyone, a few pictures of the beast.













It currently has a set of Rabbit fenders, so i either need a Rabbit core support to run single rounds, or a set of Jetta fenders to keep the set up as is. If anyone has some Jetta fenders they're willing to sell PLEASE let me know! I will be updating this thread quite often, do to the fact that she is a rolling shell at the moment. I have a lot planned for this fine German automobile so stay tuned! Any comments, questions, or advice is greatly appreciated, thanks for looking!

Your quote is correct, at this moment in time, that brick truly does have more stance than me.

Haha same here man. MK1 Jetta Coupe is my favorite car of all time, with them becoming more and more rare, i couldn't pass her up.

Got down and dirty trying to do some engine bay clean up, 28 years of grime is quite thick. Took 1.5 cans of degreaser so far and it's almost there. One more and a power wash should do the trick Next i'll be prepping the bay for some new paint, and re painting it white. As for the rest of the paint, I'm going to leave as is for now.



I have few other pictures here. This is how infested my parents shed is becoming with parts for the Jetta, i love it. (Sorry for the shithole pictures, it's dark in there and i'm using my cell phone to take em')





Tossed the Corrado rear seats in for fun, wondering how the hell i'm going to get the pups to fit. I really dig them, and they are stupidly comfortable.



Lastly here's a picture of the my MK1 all tucked back in the shed, and my MK2 VR6 parked out front. They just look so right together.

Hell yeah! I've always wanted a MK1 Jetta. I hope you're able to find those Jetta fenders and I'm looking forward to seeing some progress on this.

Me too! I've been looking around and no luck yet. They seem to be quite difficult to locate.

Took me awhile to figure out what you meant by "famous potatoes" I hadn't even looked to see what the plates said, haha.

Real nice come-up. I say get Jetta fenders if the round ones(whatever they're from) are going to fit all wonky like that. It looks like they don't line up good on the side..
