So I put in my Hello post in the newbie section, but I'm just gonna get straight into this.
Already have a build thread up on edition, but as progress is slow, if I post a new one it looks like I have done it in much less time!
So I used to have a Jetta 1.3 4 speed in Cherry Red that I unfortunatly wrote off in 2011. From that day, I knew that my next car was going to be a Corrado, which I got. But I still wanted a Jetta again, despite how slow and not-low it was.
One day, my other half text me and told me he had just bought me a mk2 Jetta. needless to say I was over the moon. This is how it turned up (some of you may recognise my other halfs old Mk2 van next to it)
After a good clean
The plan a year before was to TDi my Corrado, but after I hit a manhole cover, I bent the floorpan and that was a write off #lowproblems
So, we were to TDi the Jetta. My other half and his two best friends have/had mTDis in their mk2 Golfs and his Mk2 Van, so they certainly know what they are doing. One day I do hope it to be mTDi as driving his was just so much fun and unbelievably quick for what it was.
The engine turned up!
And some bits I picked up from Edition 38 last year, including US spec tub, and a Hella spoiler that I am uber excited for. Other little bits including seatbelt light and engine cover.
The engine got stripped ready to be painted
Collection of parts
Interior out
I was going to be keeping it white, however, after a long conversation with Alex Wright @ Vivid Vinyl I decided I wanted to wrap it. You don't see many wrapped mk2s, and come to think about it, I don't think I've seen one!
So these turned up, but the colour is being kept schtum.
Thats about it for now.
Only a few more parts to be collected for the Jettas engine, and hopefully having its wrap in September, just after Edition unfortunately
And after I have just cracked my windscreen and sump on my daily, means I need to spend money on that and miss a few bits this month

and like I said, hoping to one day complete it to mTDi spec too!
