Aaron Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Nice P-slot wheels. The red car has the rallye grille right? IIRC thats hard to find. Two caddys, not the diesel ones for like $1,200 per chance were they? Yeah, two deisels, 1100 I believe for the pair. I passed on them. Way too much rust for me. I don't know much about the MK2's, but I have been combing vortex since this past sunday to catch up!!!! The coupe has minor rust, and only 2 places where its more severe than surface rust. Picking it up saturday, and will have good pics of all angles/problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Good running into you on 270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyrhzrdGT Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I was about to go look at those caddys but don't want to deal with rust, thanks for the heads up. I too don't know shit about vdubs, I got one because I think I can get some uber mpg out of the mk2 diesel but then realized I could make a pretty cool looking car in the process. I'll be following your build. I am parting two Jetta sedans right now so hit me up if you need anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I sure hope not... You are just jealous that I will have a 24 year old, rusted jetta that doesn't run.......... Wait a second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyrhzrdGT Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I sure hope not... The only save is that we all own them as second or third cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 The only save is that we all own them as second or third cars. Total fail here. My Helios is my Daily. 1.8 16V 40 mpg is the saving grace. And I want those wheels.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyrhzrdGT Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'm just jerking around, I just bought a 4th Mk2, a Rabbit. Not a total hater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Update: Went and picked it up with dad, and father in law. Used my in-laws Envoy XL V8 to tow the uhaul trailer, and it did great. Only took about 1.5 hours going 60mph.

Aaron Posted April 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Few things: key works in all locks except the broken trunk latch. As I originally thought, most of the rust is surface rust, and the dash board is in pretty good shape, just needs a good cleaning. Should be working on it tomorrow.

FyrhzrdGT Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Did you keep the front two P slots? I've got that front metal belly pan that is rusted to hell on yours, mines silver but you can have it if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Got the passenger side floor boards down to the metal. 2 big rust holes. Looks like all new floor boards are in order. I have to take the drivers seat and rear seat out next to get at the rest of the car. Its coming along. Pics later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Borgen Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 16V ABA turbo is the way to go (1.8T is not bad too) big engines are worse on these because of how far forward of the front axle most of the engine weight is My old jetta (MK3) would nosedive before I even thought of jumping on the brakes. good luck, fellow dubber!
