Random task should buy this... much better than the jetta shell IMO..

greggearhead · « **Reply #78 on:** March 30, 2010, 02:42:24 PM »

And it has a title. And - everything you've got from a Mk1 Jetta would fit.

ya... but it would take a SHIT FUCKING TON of work to make it street legal, he wants to Daily the Jetta

Random_Task · « **Reply #80 on:** March 30, 2010, 03:27:40 PM »

it will be daily-able, but certainly wont be a daily lol. that is im assuming i can gget the thing titled

greggearhead · « **Reply #81 on:** March 30, 2010, 03:41:14 PM »

Actually, to make it street legal wouldn't take much work at all. To make it a daily user, would take a bit more, but not much. Remember the Super Coupe? That had a roll cage and almost no amenities, and Vince used to daily it a lot.

Heh - yeah, this would actually be easier to make street legal IMO - because it actually HAS A TITLE!!

scurvy_bandit · « **Reply #82 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:05:19 PM »

AND IT has a ROLL CAGE!!!!!!!!! Of course no dash, but thats not THAT big of a deal.

Southcross · « **Reply #83 on:** March 31, 2010, 12:02:25 AM »

no seats, no seat belts, no gas tank, no floor over where the gas tank resides, does it even have door windows? ahhhh, but it has a title

You obviously aren't aware of what the new kid is thinking about with the jetta.

I do know he has already bypassed the heater core as a start. He has seats, and a dash already.

Random_Task · « **Reply #85 on:** March 31, 2010, 06:52:50 AM »

that dash aint going in the car tho, im making one out of sheetmetal at some point. there will be nothing in front of the passenger

When I bought the Green 16V Caddy from Eric eons ago, he had run it the whole time he had owned it without a dash.

Seats and belts take about what - 30min to an hour to install. Door windows are for pussies. Kidding - they are kinda a bear sometimes, but if I was building a track-day car, I would go to a topper or rubber seal place, buy some seal that roughly fits the groove, and then some plexiglass and make some windows. If I was really cool I'd make em with little access panels so I could hand my license through to the officer pulling me over.

Theiron - PM me about the title issue with the Jetta.

Finally got some real suspension, didn't you.

snoopy · « **Reply #90 on:** April 04, 2010, 09:42:56 AM »

Ya, cause the GTI's Bilstein sport shocks and H&R sport springs didn't count.

I will say, that I'm a bit uneasy about how it'll turn out. I've never been a 'slammed' man ~ but now I'm tempted. Just need to re-refurbish the 87 Rocco rear w/ discs, throw in the shocks/springs, redo the front suspension, get some tires..... and what else is there... oh yeah, put the motor in.

Nope. It's only slightly cooler than stock.

The nice thing with coilovers is you can find a nice balance between looks and performance. All of the VW's I've driven haven't really needed an uprated suspension to perform well, but coilovers allow you to tweak it just right while springs just changed it to how someone else dictates it should handle. I have Bilteins and Nuespeed springs on my GLI and I miss the ever living bejesus out of the FK coilovers I had on my GTI. They rode better, gave the car a better stance, and didn't sag in the rear end. That's next for the GLI if I don't do the body first (Those are just about the only two things left on the car to do

).

I hear ya. Just not sure how low I wanna go. We'll see.

Happy Easter folks

greggearhead · « **Reply #93 on:** April 20, 2010, 06:47:15 AM »

Alright - accepting all offers on the built engine, all or some revolution wheels, and the shell/roll cage. About ready to start cutting it up for scrap.

scurvy_bandit · « **Reply #94 on:** April 20, 2010, 07:44:28 AM »

.... someone REALLY needs to buy the shell.

IT HAS A TITLE!!!!!!!!!

I'll give you scrap price + $50 for the shell. mine brought in $49 or something like that when i cut it into tiny little pieces

greggearhead · « **Reply #97 on:** April 20, 2010, 05:34:44 PM »

No thanks. If I scrap it, I will cut off the roof to get the cage out first and sell the doors, hatch and fenders seperately.

Random_Task · « **Reply #98 on:** April 21, 2010, 05:33:18 AM »

yup, i figured that lol. worth a shot.

scurvy_bandit · « **Reply #99 on:** April 21, 2010, 08:56:57 AM »
