Gonna pull the trigger and get some rokkors, this will be the 5th time I've ordered a set. but that's not until next week. Gotta buy some maintaince parts first. And the broken shift linkage is my top priority.

Is my Jetta rusty?

[vento86]

Is my Jetta rusty?

I bet you $1000 your car has major rust on it, but it's cool. I'm from Chicago. I know what it's like to jack up a rocker that is mostly rust. It's not a good thing

But anyways.

[sweetemkayfourbro]

I'mma let you finish your ramblin' about rusty east coast cars, but ZRace has one of the cleanest, rust free emkaythrees of all tihme! ALL TIHME!

[Rugrat Anklebiter]

This is a straight up money pit. I hope this is an April fools joke that you bought this pig.

[vento86]

Where's the zacher3tuning or Rocklizard pic?

[zrace07]

Haha. I'll bet you $1,000 it doesn't. But alright. Can I ask what you paid for this... Thing?

[vento86]

Aren't all vws money pits? And it's not as bad as it looks. I haven't spent much money on it so far. And when I sell it, it's all profit

Cars out here go for more than back east.

[vento86]

Haha. I'll bet you $1,000 it doesn't. But alright. Can I ask what you paid for this... Thing?

Bout tree fiddy..

<1000

[zrace07]

<1000

I would hope so. Carry on.

Been following since you first posted this thread. Didn't think much of the car, might have been better to find something cleaner. But not that I'm seeing progress, it's coming together and you are definitely putting the work in. Bloody fingers and all. I have faith in you. Keep doing what you're doing bro.

Thanks Danny : wave: I'm hoping some Parts came in today. If not, I'm goin back to bed

[Rugrat Anklebiter]

I wish you well. It's coming together for sure. Did you buy the carpet new or used?

[vento86]

I got it used. Just pressure washed it. Still need to shampoo the interior. Also, my ecode harness came in today. So I gotta throw some lights in and wire the bish up. Gonna wire up my rear fog too

[NTmK3]

I find it funny that people think the car is such a pile of shlt when all they are goin off of are a couple pictures of the PO's JDM dream lol Ya the car was a bit rough but considering the car was traded for an east coast rust rabbit, all the money goin into this car is all for upgrades! In other words he didnt have to pay $1100 for a car and then start throwing money at it for upgrades, but hey..... haters gonna hate

[vento86]

I just think its funny that the kids with rusty jettas are talkin ****. Lmao

Wiring up the ecodes as we speak

[Redline6800]

Haha, I am one of those kids with a rusty jetta, from wisconsin. No hate though, your project has made a lot of progress. I would be doing the same thing as you but college is the ultimate money pit

[vento86]

Bought a new Matco scanner. An found I have a bad MAF

I'm gonna run to the yard and grab one

[zrace07]

It seriously is a piece of ****. I have faith he can turn it around though.

Are you kidding me? Are you going to spray paint sick boser like eyebrows on these headlights too? Keep dubbin'.

[vento86]

Got the lights all wired up very thing works. But it started raining so I had to pack it up.

And zrace. Gtfo man. Take your rusty east coast bs outta here. What have you built? Or you're the slap some coils an baller wheels kinda kid. When you can build a 12 second car or resurrect a car from the scrap yard come talk to me. Other than that, don't comment in my thread.

cant believe how much work you have accomplished in such short time...black interior was a must

[vento86]

I've ha like 3 hours a day to do work. It sucks but I'm really surprised I've made it this far in this short time. I'm glad I have some good friends to help out

And every mk3 I've had(except minty) has been swapped or has had black. It is a must for me cuz who really likes tan?

[JohnStamos]

I wish I still had a pic of my daily before unricing it from the previous owner. Perfect motivation for this car haha.

Cliffs: Checkerboard spraypainted hood. Melted ebay head lights. 2.0 auto. Trashed Gl interior. Dents on 75% of panels, and oxidized paint. Grill from a jetta, cut to fit Golf lights. Ebay flip up headunit stuck up, you get the point.



Think of it as a blank canvas that you can build from exactly how you want, since everything needs replaced anyways. That was my thought the whole time.

I got faith in this one being saved.

Exactly.. That's how I see it, and thanks man

[NTmK3]

Personaly I think its fun to take a total pile and and do a complete 180 on it! There is a certain satasfaction you get from the before and after! This is a fun build and I'm stoked I can be a part of it!
