Been looking for an old VW for a while so just bought this from a guy in stoke who had had it for 2 years, it is a bought not built but never mind.

anyway here goes. its a 1.3 mark1 jetta with manual choke and 4 speed box, done 113,000milles. 1984

the summer stage:













winter stage:













when i bought it:

Hottuning coilovers,
Webber carb with Mark 2 golf GTi inlet manifold,
Grooved disks with mark1 GTi calipers and ebc green stuff pads,
hubs are new, shoes are new and bearings have been done all round,
Clear front indicators,
Upgraded loom for the front lights.
Led bulbs on rear lights.
Rear lights have been tinted red,
Plugs and leads are new,
Water pump is new,
Cambelt has done 6000 miles.
Two sets of pressed plates.
Newish ATS Classics 8j rear and 7j front with 175 - 50 - 13 prelli p5000 all round and 20mm spacers on front to clear the calipers.

bits i have done:

oil and oil filter 10w 40 semi synthetic

painted the rocker cover
polished all the car for winter
G3'd under the bonnet
new battery as it had a fault
new set of plates (just incase the police dont like it lol)

i love the car to bits and i am so glad i have got another vw

as i said i bought it not built it and i will be living with it for a long time, people are already asking me when i sell it let me know,
it gets alot of looks where ever i go in it.

Thats awesome, nice find! I like your take on it too. Reminds me of a mates mk1 Jetta he stupidly sold a couple of years back.
