Mk2 Jetta TD Daily

Featured Replies

Thought I may aswell post up a few photos of my Jetta on here..

Basically I wanted a mk2 Golf or Jetta TD for when the G40 came off the road as they are cool and be good on fuel etc

So I found this on ebay for £1500 and managed to pick it up off the guy for £900, had loads of history and low mileage so thought I was onto a winner!

The day after I bought it

Then few weeks later bought some coilovers amongst a us tub and a few more goodies, and rolled front arches and ran without the trims for a bit, decided to run a set of Bbs Ra's but ended up taking the car off the road as the brakes failed. Ended up fitting G60 brakes up front with a disc conversion at the back with mk4 calipers and a 23mm master cylinder and hel braided hoses.

Bought some Bbs Rm's but didn't keep them long and bought a set of 8 and 9J D90's along with some G60 arches, spotted a black Gti Jetta headliner up for sale so grabbed that along with all the black plastics and black carpet so fitted all of that while it was off the road,

Decided to put a Golf front end on it but may change back I'm not sure..

I had mine cheap straight from the US ;) sold my old tub for £30 too so it cost me hardly anything. Even fitted a US 3rd brakelight as it was cheap as. Also got some US markers to go on when I can be bothered lol!

I was wondering if you had a build thread anywhere for this!

Nice read and nice to see what you have done aswell. Any other plans or is it just going to be used as a daily now?
