Post by: ian_GTI on 14 March 2013, 12:45: Hi all thought ill post a few pics up here

So here it is:

Plans for now are to do a few bits of tidying up and raise it up on some new wheels then run it daily until the G60 lump is ready as it sits like this at the mo

So my main focus will be rebuilding the engine and get it ready to drop in

We had a maroon Mk1 Jetta when I was growing up and my friends had one in that blue colour too.

G60 transplant will be great.

Good work, carry on :cool:

Post by: ian_GTI on 13 October 2013, 09:06: Time for a bit of a update:

First I would like to thank James, Kev and even Rob for your help :)

Since the custom work on the G60 engine is taking longer than I had hoped, James kindly did me a great deal on a 1.9TD AAZ engine so we fitted that

I've put some oe lights back up front and orange indicators - also fitted a relay to the front light so they are no longer candles. As they where only hitting 9.3v at idle.

Started fitting some corrado front seats that will get retrimmed back to blue to match the rest

And some new shoes :)

Here's some pics

Post by: ian_GTI on 16 March 2014, 08:41: Bit of a update:

Then started fitting a westy front

(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/9D377B26-BB06-4C93-82D5-BA841CA3A157_zpsyrjnf0rk.jpg) (http://"http://s298.photobucket.com/user/ianmorgan50/media/9D377B26-BB06-4C93-82D5-BA841CA3A157_zpsyrjnf0rk.jpg.html")

Then decided that it could do with a full paint so started the strip down

(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/365FDFC0-86BD-4CE1-87E5-84A5DE06F34E_zps7frrsajt.jpg) (http://"http://s298.photobucket.com/user/ianmorgan50/media/365FDFC0-86BD-4CE1-87E5-84A5DE06F34E_zps7frrsajt.jpg.html")

That's it for now until it's back from paint

Post by: ian_GTI on 16 March 2014, 20:33: Finished the adjustments to fit the westy front, the bodyshop are popping in tomorrow just to check it over before they take it for paint

Title: Re: New toy (mk1 jetta)
Post by: ian_GTI on 06 April 2014, 17:32: Bit of a update after a few delays with the body shop it gave me chance to do a few extra bits

Chop out the rear towing eye:

(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/4EC93B6B-BA66-4EFC-8F15-65DD0FE13DEF_zpssebcdwhk.jpg) (http://s298.photobucket.com/user/ianmorgan50/media/4EC93B6B-BA66-4EFC-8F15-65DD0FE13DEF_zpssebcdwhk.jpg.html)

Then had to take out the cut out on the exhaust side to match up:

(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/A7C0F956-497E-43B4-A6AB-177D68D3D9A7_zpstirf3fhv.jpg) (http://s298.photobucket.com/user/ianmorgan50/media/A7C0F956-497E-43B4-A6AB-177D68D3D9A7_zpstirf3fhv.jpg.html)

Chop out the lhd wiper inserts:

(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/8ED63902-5675-4BA7-A513-7FCF8A6391D5_zpsrez7gvcu.jpg) (http://s298.photobucket.com/user/ianmorgan50/media/8ED63902-5675-4BA7-A513-7FCF8A6391D5_zpsrez7gvcu.jpg.html)

And rear the rear arch:

(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/DF041841-4C60-4540-8920-3705E26CCF67_zpsgpncwirl.jpg) (http://s298.photobucket.com/user/ianmorgan50/media/DF041841-4C60-4540-8920-3705E26CCF67_zpsgpncwirl.jpg.html)

There's still a bit to tidy up and a small skim then it's all ready for paint

Massive thanks to James for all he's help couldn't of done it without him :)

Removed the rear towing eye then removed the square next to the exhaust (still needs a bit of prep)
