Noticed the 1B Idaho plate.Did you just buy it in Idaho or are you from there? I'm In Pocatello

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

Um, I haven't thought about the price too much yet. It'll be a few months before it's up for sale. If you're still interested then we can work something out

Nope, I actually purchased the car from a dude who lived in a town called Boring in Oregon. I'm located in Bend, Oregon. Roughly 10 hours and 5 minutes from Pocatello, according to Gaps He said that one of his friends bought the car from somebody down in Idaho a few years back.

hahahaha damn, I always get excited when I see someone that MIGHT be close to me. Nobody is into fitment in Southeast Idaho.

I just sold a Sand Rocket that was built in Boring. Weird.

Hey everyone, sorry it's been so long since i've updated. Not too much has changed lately. However today i bought me set of 15x7 Jeep 10 Hole wheels that are pretty corroded with no curbage or major scratches . Purchased them off a nice old lady on Craigslist for only $50 bucks, no complaints over here Also i got some motor mounts finally, all i need is a clutch and vr6 water pump pulley and i'm ready to begin the swap.




I sanded one of them for a few hours tonight and this is where i'm at so far. Turning out better than i had expected, i'm getting some lighter grit paper and new dremel bits tomorrow and hopefully finishing sanding+polishing. I will post some better quality pictures if so, these cell phone pictures just aren't quite cutting it.


I think i'm going to go with 25mm adapters in the back, and 20mm up front. I have to go from 4x100 to 5x114.3, will definitely be hitting the guys up at The Fit Garage for those when the time comes.

Cleaning out all those holes is going to be a bitch. Nice come up!

That's a nice wee project you have there buddy!

Mk2 VR is decent too, Flat caps for the Borbets would be a trick touch :-)

Look forward to your updates

I know! I think fine tip on a dremel should do the trick

I have to sell her in order to fund the Jetter. I've always been a Coupe fan and if i ever want another MK2 GTI there are a lot more of them out there than there are MK1 Coupes.

Thank you much, it is a nice wee project indeed
I have center caps sitting in my shed, just took them off for shits and giggles. This is what my car looks like with them on.

Sadly they're not real Borbets, they are ESM 009's. They look pretty close to the real deal, and are half the price.

look soo good! cant wait

That looks better man shame you wanna sell it, should turbo the VR and stick it in the Jetta

I already have an ABA for it, so i'm thinking i'm going to supercharge it. I bought headers a few weeks back, so i would be back tracking if i chose the turbo route now. I know you get more power out of turbo's, but a supercharger is something a little different from the crowd, I like it.

When i told Terry Sing over at OSWV about the wheels I had purchased, he suggested pulling out the rivets and replacing them with some sort of spike. I think that idea is genius! Started pulling the rivets out, a little bit of panther piss, vice grips, man strength, and all 96 rivets popped right on out.



Thinking something like this for the spikes?

Herrow again everyone, sorry for the extreme delay of updates. Last month on the first day of my much desired winter break to shred my face off up at Mt Bachelor, I attempted a backflip off of a jersey barrier on my snowboard, I know, super hesh Sadly it resulted in my collar bone breaking in two places and me being pissed off because I can't work on my Jetta, or shred the frozen waves for a couple of months.

Some pictures of the carnage, casue you all are so interested

A little bit of custom fab work done by my surgeon


On the plus side I ordered a clutch the two days ago from partsgeek, it got here today! Once I am cleared by my doctor to lift over 10 pounds with my right arm again, the swap will finally begin!!
