    1985 Jetta Coupe VR-T
    09-19-2012 04:35 PM #1
    Hello all,

    My Jetta is back up for sale! Originally I bought it as a lawn ornament, and brought it back to life. The swap was done by a shop in NY that is now defunct, but the quality was top notch. Its a 1998 OBD2 swap, with 5 lug conversion, and mk3 dash. NGP did an engine rebuild, installed coilovers, full turbo setup with FMIC, and full custom exhaust and powder coated IC piping. Spent $17k, because everything was done PROPERLY! I have the receipts for the full build and can show them to anyone who is really interested.


    OK, I'll try to list everything....

    Exterior/Chasis
    -Wheels: MK3 GLX Bugattis
    -Vogtland coilovers (under 750 miles, installed at NGP)
    -5x100, stock 98 VR6 brakes, stainless steel brake lines all around
    -g60 flares up front, 8v flares in the rear
    -Stock smoothed big bumper in the rear
    -Reiger RS fiberglass front bumper
    -Audi OEM HID ballasts, in crystal clear 7' round headlights
    -Solid red tail lights
    -M3 style taillights also included
    -The color is Acura, atlantic blue pearl from the TL series around 2004
    -Shaved door pockets, stock black mk2 handles

    Engine (everything listed below has less than 2k)
    -1998 OBD2 VR/tran swap with roughly 58k original miles (port and polished head less than 2k ago)
    -T3/t4 .50 trimi (less than 2k miles)
    -42 lb greentop injectors
    -Raceware head studs
    -Custom welded/powdercoated intercooler piping, FMIC (now all are flat black)
    -Custom welded 3' stainless exhaust, Billy boat muffler. No cat
    -C2 head spacer 8.5:1 compression
    -Apex'i digital boost controller
    -Short shifter
    -Peloquin LSD
    -Spec stage 2 clutch
    -Almost new red top Optima battery
    -New coilpack
    -New external fuel pump (in-tank pump still in place)

    Interior
    -AEM wideband
    -Stewart Warner boost gauge (both of these in a-frame pillar)
    -All 4 panels, and back seat were custom stitched by A&R custom interiors, black suede with red french seams (see pics below)
    -Headliner and visors is all red suede matching the seats
    -All pillars wrapped in black suede
    -DC2 recaros in FANTASTIC shape. They're from a Japanese DC2 Integra (rid)
    -3 point race seat harnesses
    -Cabrio gauge panel
    -Electric windows work

    The bad:
    -Driver side door has a small shallow dent, about the size of a baseball. Probably can be pulled
    -Leaky sunroof (needs new seal, and to be aligned)

    I know I'm forgetting stuff and will update it. I have all receipts from NGP that will come with the car. I wish I didn't have to sell but it doesn't make sense for the car to sit in a garage when someone could have fun with it! The car should make close to 400 hp after a dyno tune

    I know how much has gone into the car, so bring on the offers, but no redic lowballs either.

    $7,000 IS THE ASKING PRICE



    Now for pics:

    As far as what..? A project is never ending

    Everything I know that is faulty is listed under "The bad". But, not much that NEEDS to be done.

    Don't really think it's practical for me to trade for a bike going into winter. Thanks though!
