The swap is out of a 95 Jetta, along with the entire wire harness and dash. It has a 2.5" Techtonics exhaust to a Sebring muffler. Polly suspension bushings, Bilstien shocks/struts, Neuspeed Race springs, Eibach lower front sway bar, Atomic rear sway bar, Polished Autotech upper strut bars front & rear, G60 rotors up front with Audi calipers, cross drilled rotors and Mintex pads all around. The wheels are OZ Superleggera’s with Yokohama Parada tires. The engine has about 140,000miles on it, but within the last 700 miles I had the timing chains and tensioners replaced, rear main seal, Autotech lightened flywheel and fresh clutch, complete transmission rebuild with lower ring & pinion (3.94) and Quaffe differential as well as Techtonics 268 cams. I also have installed a brand new Optima Red Top battery this year, the old one lasted more than 10 years. There is a Corrado VR6 air box with a K&N panel filter and large portions of the under side of the box removed for air flow. The throttle body housing has been replaced with one from a BMW (this made 5hp to the wheels on the dyno at Schatz &Krum in Sacramento, they also made the custom chip in the ECM) The spark plug wires are Autotech. All coolant hoses are Samco silicone items. The radiator is from a Corrado VR6 as well as the dual fans & shroud. The “heater” block has been shaved from the top of the throttle body and it, the valve cover, intake plenum and belt tensioner have been polished.

The interior is stock upholstery on: door cards and seats (seats show wear at the bolsters... obviously heavier on the drivers side). I re-trimmed the headliner in black tweed, the rear seat has been deleted... not removed... deleted (don’t be confused about this) there is an Autopower half cage that has been powder coated black with stainless hardware, Sparco 3" harnesses and custom made carpet filler across back half of interior. The short shifter is the complete Neuspeed unit for the VR6 cable shift. There is limited stereo. The Alpine head unit has 3 pre-outs and adjustable base control... but I took all the subs out when I deleted the back seat. As of now there is a Coustic amp driving the Alpine 3 1/2 speakers in the dash and 5 1/4 speakers in the door cards... all of these speakers are in stock locations behind stock grills... no ruined door cards cut up for over sized speakers. Momo steering wheel and Quaffe shift knob (the shift knob is not for sale with the car). Momo carbon pedal covers.
 
The entire car was painted about 2001, all badges, handles and body seams shaved as well as the front blinkers (they are now the "city lights" in the headlights). The paint is not perfect... but nicer than most cars on the road... and those pictures were taken this month... not back when it was fresh outta the body shop... it has been well cared for. I have 18 consecutive 1st place trophies with the car and it had a 4 page spread in the January 2003 EuroTuner Magazine. The front arches are G60 units and were brand new from VW when they were sent to the body shop, as were the front and rear bumper covers, license plate surrounds and the rocker panels/covers. The front grill has been converted to a single round set up and the tail lights are stock with a custom tint.

I am a very meticulous person by nature and did a ton of homework before starting the swap, I did everything on the car except the dash swap (thanks Tomas Sport Tuning for that and Tim for the tech support during the swap) and the paint job (thanks Panel Craft in Berkley, Ca).

The unit does not have air conditioning and the heater core is bypassed. The car will run a bit hot if you sit in a drive through on a hot day... its a VR6 shoved in a MK2. Again, the Quaffe shift knob does not come with the car and the only thing the car deserves but never got is a proper set of coilovers and some split or deep dish wheels. The catalytic converter is present and THE CAR WILL SMOG IN CALIFORNIA AND HAS BEEN REFEREED FOR THE ENGINE SWAP AND IS 100% LEGAL!!!

I am open to all reasonable offers for the car. I don’t really need anything else at this time to work on, so trades are not on the top of my list, I would really just like to free up some funds to finish a few of my other projects. Before scoffing at the asking price please ask me questions about the car and if you think you have a reasonable offer please present it. I promise to answer all questions completely and honestly.

I am asking $9,500 or best offer for the car.

I will smog the unit for you at time of sale. Transportation/delivery is your responsibility. No test drives without a $1000 cash deposit... and I ride with you. I will take anyone for a ride in the car and would be willing to drive up to 100 miles to show the car to any serious party. I also feel 100% confident that if anyone was purchasing this car they would be able to hop in and drive it home... no matter how far... New York? No problem.

This car is a huge part of my life and have never posted it for sale or on any forum before. I don’t expect everyone to like my car, but please keep the comments positive and/or constructive.

Thank you for your time, enjoy the pictures and hope to talk with you soon, Drew.

Far from it, I remember the seller from way back at TST, always liked your car. Good luck with your sale

Hey man I know you're new here and I'm not flamin your thread but your price is a bit high. This car is in excellent condition and it shows you've put a lot of work in to it but $11.5K is a bit pricey for an engine 140k+ miles on it, even if it is a VR. Most VR's on here go for $3-7k depending on the mileage and condition. There's a supercharged VR with 68k on the engine and 37k miles on the body rollin on RS's for only $9k on this forum. I'm just trying to help. But anyways your car is super clean. Good luck with your sale.

Thanks for looking man. I appreciate the input and the kind thoughts. I realize there are lower priced cars... and they are nice. The listed price is my asking price... asking. I am open to offers, maybe even partial trade for some splits to go on my MK1 or a vintage Honda motorcycle. I'm super open to ideas. Thanks again for the time man.

I don't remember if it was a rumor or if you told me, but I seem to recall somebody saying after it came out of the body shop it was "straighter than an original Jetta"

At anyrate, this car truly is a gem regardless of the mileage. I only wish all swaps were as clean, comprehensive, and well cared for.

Best of luck in the sale.

Sent you an e-mail, thanks for the interest.

Thats some funny S*@t!!! Thanks for the entertaining... yet mildly disturbing... thoughts.

Laters

Wow! Thats awesome! Cant believe you remember the car... that was in 2002! It was straight outta the body shop... like the Thursday before! I think the comment you remember about the "original Jetta" is that I wanted it to look like the designers original sketch. No body seems, no trim, no handles or blinkers... just clean straight lines! I won the MK2 Jetta class & the Peoples Choice award that day... still have the plaques!

Thanks for the good wishes and great memories, Cheers.

Thank you for posting an idea for a trade/offer. My Dad always said "you don't know if you don't ask" I would really like more people to do what you have done, Thanks.

As for the trade, I'm not really looking for Jeep... but the wife has always wanted an old one... what are the specs on yours? New? Old? Lifted? Just curious. If I was to trade I would be more interested in Pre '64 American cars (especially a wagon or Edsel) A set of splits for my MK1 or Pre '78 Honda Motorcycles.

Thanks for looking!

This car is absolutely beautiful. It looks great in the photos, and even better in person! The attention to detail is amazing and the car is extraordinarily clean. This is by far my favorite MK2, and has been ever since I first saw it (which was shortly after the body work was done). It may sound like a lot of money, but if you get a chance to inspect the car and talk with the owner you will see it's worth every penny Good luck with the sale, sorry to see it go, but I just hope it goes to a good home that will care for it as you have

Another local that will back that up, cleanest MK2 GLI you will probably ever see, wins the MK2 class award every time Andy brings it out.

GL Andy.

Thanks again for taking your time to check out my car!!!
