Another Mk4!!!

[verboten1]

So, after I turned my last MK4 from this:


into this:



and then this:




I decided I wanted another MK4, the plan was to save up for a TDI, which I am still doing, but this popped up, and I had to have it. Actually, my wife wanted it, so I picked it up and will be fixing it up to be her car eventually. For now I will be driving it while I fix up my cabrio.











and taking it home.





2001 GTI VR6 138,000 miles 5 speed. Probably my lowest mileage VW in a LONG time

Leather, climatronic, FK Coils, my favorite VW wheels.


I'm searching for used red parts, but if it comes down to it, I'll get whatever color, or new if I have to.

The plan right now is to clean it up, repair the body, fix any issues that arise, and drive it!

Thats promising...How much did you pick that up for? If you haven't found a grill I have one with no emblem. Just cover shipping and it's yours

I got it for a pretty decent price, it was worth it. Hoping to go get the front end parts on, fill up the radiator and fire it up this afternoon. I need to hear a VR lol

Not sure what all you'll need but I think I have a stock VR6 air box and a few other random bits laying around.

Pretty much, I think all I will really need is the body parts. The PO included a core support and a rebar. I am hoping to find some nice red parts so I don't even need any paint!

What happened to the Jetta?

[vwgurl]

It died in June :(
We were hit on the driver side while making a u-turn. To much damage and plpd insurance, good thing for the back up car!

I took some time off today to get the radiator on and get it running. I didn't know that a stock VR6 exhaust was so quiet!! I think the suitcase might be going away once I get this on the road! Lol

took off the fender, it already looks better!



I cleaned up the seats a bit, I'm guessing the drains in the sunroof need some cleaning, or the rain tray, as there is some mold on the leather and in the carpet.

Gratz bro! Yoou did a tasteful modding to the Jetta. I'd like to see where this one goes!

Congrats! I love those Monte Carlos too. I was also surprised at how quiet the stock VR sound was on my mk4. I think the mk4 is a lot quieter than the mk3. If I end up keeping mine, it will definitely get louder :)

[verboten1]

Thanks! I drove it today, got the core support and rebar on. It's funny, at 50 MPH, the hood starts to lift when only held by a bungee!





i picked up some hood hinges and sone nice illuminated jetta vents at parts galore as well







I also thought this this was kinda cool. 4 Volkswagens out of 6 vehicles, for 4 drivers.....
maybe my family likes VW? 1 TDI, 1 VR6, and two 2 liters

Sweet project. I dig!

Ordered all new body parts and some nice glass lens headlights. I'll probably get some laminX to protect them

[MrPink]

looks good, you should let me do a retrofit on those headlights :P

[verboten1]

I could have ordered projectors but decided against it. I really don't like HID lights to be honest .
