Azkid's 84 Jetta

**AZkid** · 10-02-2012 03:24 AM

Say hello to the new member of the family.
1984 Jetta GL 151K 1.6 gas 5spd Factory ac and cruise control.

Did I mention I'm the SECOND owner?

**root beer** · 10-02-2012 04:34 AM

Awesome. Somebody find me an AZ jetta like this.

**AZkid** · 10-02-2012 02:13 PM

Did I mention she only cost $750? 👍
And it came with a stack of paperwork. History from way back. Even the original order form.

**tgibson** · 10-02-2012 02:21 PM

Looks great

I'd love to find something out here, just have been unsuccessful so far.

**foxygrandpa** · 10-03-2012 12:09 AM

Ha man you lucky dog. I search craigslist all the time for jettas and I can never find any down here.
My next car for sure :-P Looks great. Any luck selling your rabbit? You should finish it!

**AZkid** · 10-03-2012 02:00 AM

No luck with the hatch.

It's tough owning 3 mk1's and an e30!

I've been watching for a Jetta for two years now!

**VWDUBLUVIN** · 10-05-2012 07:10 PM

You should come out with this tonight to lundes vw if you didn't leave to ocktoberfest

**Iroczgirl** · 10-06-2012 01:32 AM

Great find!

**AZkid** · 10-18-2012 09:51 PM

Things have been slow, I've been working on the hatch and e30, today I did throw on a set of bumpers I had laying around.

**rabbitnothopper** · 10-18-2012 10:02 PM

**AZkid** · 10-19-2012 03:17 AM

So many cars I don't know what to do! Soon to be one more!

**AZkid** · 10-21-2012 12:19 PM

**lukas69** · 10-21-2012 01:29 PM

**owen__** · 10-25-2012 01:54 PM

**AZkid** · 10-29-2012 07:33 PM

**AZkid** · 12-25-2012 09:19 PM

FAKE wheels
Recaro 190e recaros.
-rear 190e seat in works.

**AZkid** · 12-30-2012 08:27 PM

**ArsenicPants** · 12-31-2012 09:08 AM

Wow, I never knew those seats were made by recaro?
Very cool

The car looks good! Any other plans for it?
You should give it a good cut polish though, I'm sure that colour could come out looking amazing! It's almost there now, just dull

**AZkid** · 12-31-2012 10:25 AM

Thank you! And plans are coming along, looking for te right setup on everything. I have leads to an engine swap, and no, not a vr6. Not really my taste for a mk1. Until the deal is sealed, it shall remain a secret.
It's my daily and my back up is my 4runner which should be undergoing a straight axle swap. So until then, this needs to stay reliable.

As for the paint, it was a respray done maybe 6 or 7 years ago. When I bought it, it sat under a car cover, which is where it got its odd fading. The clear coat is almost completely gone sadly. Plus to fix that as well, when the time comes.

**oopseyesharted** · 01-05-2013 07:12 PM

Nice score!!!
Keep up the good work>

**AZkid** · 02-06-2013 12:20 PM

Changed up the wheels.

**tangerine_coupe** · 02-06-2013 02:24 PM

Interior is looking good, i love the seats

**101vet** · 02-10-2013 02:07 AM

If ya ever wanna get dirty on a mk1 electrical nightmare hit me up...lol...one of mine is being a stubborn ass...

**AZkid** · 02-10-2013 06:44 AM

I sent a PM 101vet

**veector** · 02-10-2013 09:15 AM

Damn.. Thats a clean survivor right there, Im sure being from Az helps

(my jetta is surrounded by 3 feet of snow and covered in salt)

**.T.o.n.y.** · 02-10-2013 11:57 AM

Awesome job so far man! Glad to see other locals who appreciate these older VWs like i do!

**caddy 2 dope** · 02-10-2013 04:42 PM

Nice jetta

**AZkid** · 04-02-2013 01:05 PM

Well I have some small updates.
Got all new door handles, all new door handle gaskets, new gas cap, and clips for the side trim. I converted the euro plate to LED lights as well.
Sold the XXR wheels and am back on original wheels. Lowered the coilovers so I'm sitting at 21 inches now.
Have plans to notch the frame, build front strut caps and build rear drop plates.
I am also on the hunt to find the lower rocker panel trim, no luck thus far.
Here's an older picture of the line up. My car, brothers 83 Toyota and my brothers old caddy, which is sold, awaiting pick up.

In a way, I am saving this one. The PO was in a fender bender with the passenger side front, some front apron damage and frame buckling. We are going to notch it and straighten the frame the best we can.
