my non-suby project (we're all car guys!)
so yeah, here is my other project; 91 Jetta GLi 16v. it was keyed recently, so since the paint wasn't exactly the best nor was the body, i decieded to completely overhaul the exterior.
how it looked when I place 3rd in the MK1/MK2 class at Deustch Stahl 2006:

How it looked after getting keyed:

Name: DSC_0005.jpg Views: 6 Size: 77.1 KB

Today:

Name: DSC_0011-1.jpg Views: 6 Size: 70.7 KB

Enjoy, i guess..

it's actually been really reliable, even more so than some of my friend's MK4's *knock on wood.* I had one issue, and that was the radiator fan staying on too long after the car was turned off, thus draining the battery, but that was quickly fixed with a new fanswitch. if you're interested in this man, check out www.watercooledmilitia.com. When I'm not Mr. Wiggles on I-Club or Nasioc being all JDM, I'm on there and the Vortex being Pennywise being a Eurowhore

Who's going around keying "***" on other peoples belongings? Thats the second picture i saw with key marks "***". First was a rota rim then this... I wouldnt want my new TR to be "***"ed ... Please help find this person and key his stomach till the word "***" bleeds out.. ARghh. I'm sorry i just hate it when stuff like this happens, even though it's not my belongings.

I miss my VW water-pumper. Jetta had the best body style back then. Scirocco and Corrado G60 were pretty awesome too. Great project. (Oettenger Turbo time dude..)

Name: DSC_0170.jpg Views: 5 Size: 64.6 KB
Name: DSC_0173.jpg Views: 6 Size: 73.7 KB

Name: DSC_0181.jpg Views: 5 Size: 58.4 KB
Name: DSC_0192.jpg Views: 3 Size: 94.9 KB

then the car crapped out on me (main oil shaft seal went bad, leaked oil into clutch and flywheel assembly, so the car is in pieces here)
