Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Duncan's MK2 Jetta

    Decided to chuck some more photos up of the car and create a bit of a build thread/broken bit thread for the car.
    Like I've said I have had the Jetta for about 4 years now but the majority of the time it has been at my parents place in storage while I've been away at uni.







    It is pretty much as it came from the factory in 1991 with the addition of Thule 305 racks and the home made Thule 555 fairing. I tried to hunt out an og but the prices where starting to get pretty crazy!







    No huge plans for it while i'm finishing off my masters at uni at this stage other than keep it tidy and lower it with some G60 15" steel wheels. It is also going in next week to get some rust repaired around the windshield.

    I picked up some coilovers for it off a local guy a few weeks back, but turns out he sold me 6n polo ones Just waiting patiently for him to get back from his holiday so we can sort this out!

    The car also came with some odd options being a South African assembled car, rallye front, two tone leather and 1/4 arch flares. I have always wanted 16v archs for it and picked up some for it.

    I still need the side skirts and thin door trim if anyone knows of any for sale?? It would be awesome if some one could help me out here

    Cheers,
    Duncan

        Cheers!

        I need to give it a good cut and polish though and sort will sort the boot out when the rust is getting attended to.
        It had a nasty GLi spolier on and has left some good marks from the 20years it has been on!
        whatcha think?

          Yes,I noticed the rear spoiler is missing,as well as the Black pin stripes along the sides of the car.

            Yeah, I was never a fan of that spoiler or the black strips. So I removed them both.
            Here is a shot with spoiler and black strips



            I feel it looks a lot cleaner with out.
            whatcha think?

                    Lovely little Jetta you got there.
                    Didn't pick up on the quarter wheel arches till you mentioned it, quite different in a good way

                    Quick question, how did you go about removing those stipe decals down the side of the car?

                      I used a heat gun and slowly peeled them off. They came off really well, which I wasn't expecting!

                      Yeah, odd SA thing was the 1/4 archs and fat door trims.

                      Any one got some MK2 big bumper side skirts that want to sell??? I am very keen to find some

                        I picked up some 4x100 15" steels of a mate today. A lot cheaper than buying new G60 winter wheels. Also came with good tyres though I am wanting to run a lower profile once they get widened.

                        Not a perfect fit with the centre caps but I think they will look ok once the wheels are powder coated silver too.

                          nice! Widen those bad boys to 15x8 all round with some staggered offsets. That would just be horn!
