LOL!

Right. What have you got as a donor?  Just the engine block, or the whole ABF car?

If so, then if you have a look again in the MK2 Section.

When was your Jetta built?  Is it 1990-1992.  Iirc they're 1G types.

Then just get a Mk3 or similar.  All depends on your budget and availability.

Simples.

Jetta = Golf with a boot.

It's a 1989 Jetta

Better to buy donor as yo can then rip out any random parts you'll need (which you will need, simple parts that you would then have to go out and source yourself and make the job a PITA). When you're done, chuck the old engine as well as any remaining crap in the golf and weigh it in.
