The DeadBuilt Coupe (1985 Jetta Coupe)

[woody89]

Hey how is it going everyone? Some may remember my MKIV Jetta. I've parted a lot of the car and just drive it as of now. I've moved toward putting my efforts in my MK2 Jetta Coupe.

Plans for the car are pretty simple and straight forward. I am wanting to build a really clean and fun weekend car. Some ideas may arise and some may change as I work on the car. As of right now I have a pretty solid plan I am sticking with.

It's really nice to finally have a project I can take my time with. A lot of things on my MKIV I felt were rushed because of needing it back on the road.

small smoothed and painted euro bumpers
westy front end w/ retrofit hids
shaved fenders
audi a6 handles
cup mirrors
shaved engine bay
Color: Brilliant Black

Interior:
smoothed/shaved painted Brilliant Black
Custom Door Cards.
MK4 Dash
MK3 Seats wrapped in Burgandy Cloth w/ gold stitching.

Engine:
VR6 stock internals
port and polish
mild cams
Borg Warner S366 .88ar Turbo
VEMs Standalone
Custom short runner w/ velocity stacks
e85

Wheels/Suspension:
BBS RS'S

Evrything is amazing but the horrid side mirrors I have always ***** those.

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

looks good buddy. i also tried those mirrors out. after nearly hitting 2 cars i removed'em

[Randomofodication]

End product looks great!

[woody89]

Yeah I agree the mirrors aren't for everyone. I was going to do older Audi handles like most MK2s, but I think these handles will help the mirrors flow a bit better. And I am running small windows, which I think helps them out more also.

Looks awesome ! What color are you thinking of painting it if you do?

[VdubMKII]
