my new 88 jetta

i went to the dark side today and picked this baby up

1988 gl with power windows 5 speed new wheel bearing and axles

timing belt and oil change hopefully monday

Looks nice!

thanks!
gunna do a little work on it this week

Darkside is ok. You will still seek the light son

replaced the timing belt, tensioner, water pump and relay shaft

next on the list is coils due to the fact that i think i have a bad strut and a new shifter since hook for the lockout plate is broken off. and to pit the teardrops i have on it

i put a mk3 weighted shift rob thing in my car today and i like the results so far. and by far one of the easiest things ive ever done

Cool,
I have to rebuild the cabbies shifter (old / worn) and was thinking of a short throw weighted one.
I have the bushings and the ball, where did you get the shifter rod?

I got it from a friend its an OEM one off of a mk3 so I got it for free but I've seen some for sale online for 50 bucks. Go.to a pap and Yank it off a 5 speed mk3. Next I have to buy a short throw kit and a new shift lever. The PO broke the reverse lock out

went and got some mk4 rubber mats with the big colored logos and some corrado front seat for the jetta today. i plan on also getting all the big brakes and maybe the steering wheel

well tomarrow im picking up a 1.8 16 valve tomarrow for 20 bucks lol

it slipped timing. so ill see what the damage it,
i plan on building it to the gills with big cams

i put a quad round grill on it a few days ago i like it alot



also here is some pics of that 16 valve




ill be buying alot of parts at sowo for the jetta so it should be lowered in the next couple weeks

i might have a engine you need. 90 2.0 16v

that might be a deal what condition and price? pm me.

just to clear this up it has a 8 valve in it that runs good i just wanna have more power in the future lol

i have the hole car.

this thread seems dead lol

now i just need tires and money for an alignment and this thing is about to be slammed

I am just waiting on the progress pics....
