Tom's MKII Jetta. (First Timer)

Nice Car Man. Atlas Gray? I have an almost identical Jetta, same clour but small bumper and also on air.

Are you planning on keeping the 8v?

I think so. I want to grab small bumpers from somewhere as they're so hard to find.

I think i'm gonna keep it 8V for a bit then possibly do an engine swap. Not sure what for yet. maybe a PD130 engine or something. I really dont know!

I want to say the color is "Root Beer Flake" but I honestly can't remember for the life of me. Always loved the color though. I, personally, would do a little bit less flake for a more subtle look. But yeah here it is. Dark brown + flake is the way to go

Just need to find the paint code colour for this brown now and ask for less flake!

[Tj.smith1991]

I'm held back at the minute waiting for parts to finish the boot build. Frustrating as hell.

Hopefully when the parts arrive I can finish it off, I need to also start purchasing more filler for when I take off the door bump strips

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

I believe House of Kolor has a pretty fantastic root beer flake color. You might also have a look at BMW's Sparkling Brown Metallic.

Found a really nice colour from them.

00805

Nice browny colour!

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

00805 is gorgeous indeed. I also really like 00839 and 001243.

Very nice colour. I may get a sample so I can see what it looks like on the car itself.

I may be interested in a swap sometime? Ive always thought Big bumpers suit a Jetta better. **** the headlight swap though, roundies should stay on a golf!

Nice, PDs make a nice swap as long as your not fussed about changing mounts etc.
Ive got a 2.1 eaton charged 16v going in mine

I have always like mk2 gti's and gli's...keep up the work, looking good and i cant wait to see the wheels on this car!

[Reuvers]

Car looks good!

I had one of these way back, with a G60 engine running an Eaton compressor. Fast (and loud) as hell!

[Rayma]

Is that car(or engine) still alive and kicking somewere?

when i posted the pictures I was curious about that myself; so i looked up the license plate. It's not in use anymore. What happened to the car or engine, I have no clue...

[Tj.smith1991]

Didn't get anything done this weekend. Only thing that happened was one of my air lines decided to disconnect during driving and scared the absolute living shit out of me.

Only the one to the compressor though, Fixing it today whilst I wait for parts.

Positive note. Finally getting some money through from the army so I can actually buy things I need. save up for paint and get the car ready for show season

Today was another bad day.

I was off to work in my Work Horse (I drive touring musicians around England / Mainland). -


Decided that the DPF was going to die on me. After just having the Air Temp Sensor replaced on it because it was giving off errors to the ECU.


Costing me £500 for a DPF Delete + Computer setup of the delete. I've lost £2500 in 3 weeks because i've had to cancel a bunch of dates I had for work.

Positive. I have now sorted out the leaky compressor line. I have the carpet waiting to go on the boot build and I have a rear window mech.

Also my heater controller decided to snap in my hand as i was putting it onto the windscreen angle. Managed to buy one for cheap so that needs fitting too.
