"Official 24valve Build!"

**dmarian** · 01-08-2010 01:25 AM

Alright for those of you who don't know I had purchased my 2001 VW Jetta VR6 from SAISC Inc. Auto Salvage Pool. I placed a bid for $1600.00. I called the next day and was told I had gotten the car as the high bidder! I managed to take the car out the door after taxes for about $2170.52 Made my day! I did start this project from scratch and put much time, sweat, blood, and effort into the car. Hope you all enjoy the pics!

This is the time I came across the car online. Never saw it in person!

I really like threads like this, makes me think of the old SW forum days when there were cool threads and less garbage. Good work, it looks like you know what you're doing
