Slow Home Brew Mk2 Jetta TDi

[Raarasutra]

This is so awesome. I'm weak for any diesel car

And yeah, updates?!

[promking]

updates?

[Lhotte]

2 updates in 2 days. I must be ill or something :lol:

Stripped the new set of doors, limo Jetta anyone?



Finally got the rear beam swapped over. It was originally going to be on Chris' mk2, you can see the mounting point has been lowered to allow more travel even with more lows.

So happy with this right now

[Lhotte]

Little bit more done today.

Rear beam is off now ready to be replaced with a custom one. It has been modified for more lows and more cambers. Also given the rear lower valance a clean up before moving on to sort out the dents just above as you can see below

[Lhotte]

This is a really thorough build. We love the quality and time you and your other half have put into the projects!

- Renato

His is progressing so much quicker than mine hahaha!!!




ABOUT TIME SOMETHING HAPPENED

And again more little updates.

Finally got a couple of replacement doors



Chris has all this stuff he won't be using now, including some nice little detail stuff, like new door pins which are a cool touch



How'd'ya like my new steering wheel? Hahaha

We're looking into yorkshire mainly, but backup plan is Doncaster as the other half has family there. Will be different for me... Not sure how I'll feel after being a country bumpkin in Aberdeenshire my whole life! But I've convinced her that a house in the countryside with a bit of land is a better idea than a city It's a win win!

Having more space is definitely the way forward!

He's lucky, trust me. I love that he's out everyday. He is much more into it than I am, and I won't lie. I love my car, I love doing everything to it, but I love having the house to myself hahaha

Nah, I think we are as lucky as each other. (Cringe)

Where are you moving to?

More boring updates and pics

[Lhotte]

So been getting on a bit more recently

Starting with the rear cleaning up the boot shut and drilling the holes for the spoiler. Sits nicely








Doors taken off and shuts done.




Got me a bonnet too



Carpet is sat in the car instead of gathering dust on the roof :lol:

Preview of the bay :wub:

[Lhotte]

Love this! Can't wait to make my move from Scotland to down south as places to keep dry are so much cheaper for rent's! Then I can stop being a little bitch too and finish my rocco and bimmer... Keep this going! It's awesome! My missus needs to get more into actually working on cars -.- Your man is lucky! (or is it you that's the lucky one, what with his welding skills and all? )

Fitted the pedal box. It's a passat one so it was a right bitch to get in. But luckily Chris took one look made a plate and in it was!!



Dash back in and derv clocks fitted too!
