Behold the $500 1989 Wolfsburg Jetta and the 8v 1.8l of fury! Pretty good shape aside from a few rust spots that I will be addressing shortly. Currently has a euro GTI cam and an adjustable cam gear. Needs me to finish up the timing belt job and hunt down a few misc things to run.
Immediate future plans include getting it running, cleaning the interior, getting rid of the skull shift knob, new tires mounted on the spare set of Imolas that came with the vehicle, roof rack w/bike carriers, and addressing rust. Future plans include coilovers, regular maintenance crap (including valve seals), and refinishing the Speedlines. Way down the road I want to do an ABA bottom end swap.
Some of the rust... :thumbdown:
The Jetta and the wife's MKV Rabbit should be a cute couple:
