MK1 Jetta Coupe, my new girlfriend...

[C.T.]

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..

Thanks dude! I'd really like to do that as well, considering the matching core support is already there, and i have all the lights and grill to fit. I talked to Terry about the fender situation, he said it's really rare to come by them, but is possible with the right amount of patients. The ones on right now are from a Rabbit, so if it comes down to it, i will run them and swap the core supports. As for now, she's going to keep that un matching steez.. not so herrafrush.

I finished sanding the bay over the weekend with some help from Jon and Kip, and sprayed a layer of primer on today. Going to touch up the primer a bit tomorrow, and hopefully get it painted as well. A couple pics...


Still haven't thought of a name for her yet, think i'm going to wait till she moves to name her, seems proper

Kip Olkowski?? I miss that foo.

Kip Olkowski?? I miss that foo.

Yes sir. He's supposed to be doing community service at Tumalo school, but no one supervises him, so he just comes and helps with the jetter. He's helping someone with out getting paid, so that counts for something right?

[Bronzit]

Hahaha, he cracks me up. Always doing community service. Tell him I miss him next time he's over.

He was actually doing some today, and came to chill for a bit. Community service on his Birthday must have sucked haha. Next time i see him, i'll tell him for sure.

In other news i did a bit of painting on the bay today, turned out alright. Here's a shitty single picture of the paint while it was still drying. I'll get some more when i do some touch up after drying.

You sir, have made me extremely jealous. I want a Mk1 Coupe so bad. Watching this for sursies.

Awww yeah. I've wanted to get into a MK1 coupe for a while as well. I found this on Craigslist for $600, and he accepted my offer of $500 and some extra wheels. Tell you what, I was, and still am one happy camper!

Lately i've been browsing the web a lot, trying to figure out which exhaust route i was going to choose. I discovered a couple days ago that the Raceland 8v headers also fit the ABA and clears everything with ease ( most of you mk1 dudes probably knew, but it was new info to me). Weirdly enough, someone in Bend was actually selling a new one on craigslist for relatively cheap. Called him yesterday and he still had it, a little bit of bartering and it was mine for a wopping $100.

Some pictures of the new headers...




Also a few books i picked up fo FREE from a buddy's dad who got sick of this place, moved to Hawaii, and left all his shit here.



Oh yeah and a shot of Gretchen (my mk2) without the center caps, took them off for a bit. Kinda dig it, but i know i'll eventually throw them back on... Once my MK1 runs i will be selling ol' gretch to fund it, so no need for a build thread. That being the reason i post pics of her on here.

This GIF is just too weird not to post on here. I find it highly entertaining, happy Halloween everybody

[ScumbagSteve]

Stoked on the headers dude! and that gif. oh my god.

[willis]

Because you bought those headers from Zane, your car is cursed. Your valves will burn, antifreeze will geyser from every hose, wheels will fall off.

I like gretchen (I hope I spelt that right lol) both cars will be beautifully done when this one is done

Right? That is easily one of the creepiest things I've ever seen in my life.

I refuse to believe that! It can't be cursed this early in it's new found life!

Thank you. I'm pretty fond of her myself. It'll be a sad day when i have to let her go.

[TylersEM2]

In for this.

How much are you going to sell your mk2 for? I may or may not be interested depending on how far in the future it is that you want to sell it. lol
