| Well there is finally room on the drive so I have got my own project yay!  Lee and Matty picked the Jetta up earlier.
Its a Jetta C 1.3 4 speed
34K genuine miles - an old man owned it until he passed away - has only done 2k since its last MOT
He regularly oiled the underside so it is well solid
The oil is still golden, not black so the car has been well maintained
My plans are to keep it standard other than to lower it and change the wheels. I really like the car but TBH i prefer mk1 golfs so i maybe up for a swap when all the work is done!!
The parts i need are -
n/s headlight
o/s/r door
top fill radiator
So if anyone can help me out then let me know!
Anyway here are the pics

| That looks ace Gem 
I have some nice standard wheels for a Jetta with hubcaps that would come up a treat with a polish  and quite possibly a nice running 1.6 engine

aww thanks im well pleased, have you got any pics of your wheels? Im up for a bit of polishing - i'm not scared of hard work lol! this is going to be my car to do - i'll just get advice off Lee but he's leaving me to it! 
I know i thought the hat was a sweet touch - in memory of the old chap that owned it for so long, like i said i just want to restore it back to its former glory |

I will find a pic of the wheels...and will bring round my old headlamp for you at the weekend when i pic up some wiring and business cards off Lee.
They are the ones which were on mine before..just steelies with a chrome hubcap which covers the steelie.

| Thanks for all the comments guys - I'm glad your as keen as me to see it looking sweet again!
Curtis - haha yeah im keen to get working on it and get some progress done! gonna be tidying it up when i get in from work and seeing what its like inside - hoover it out etc.
Matty - thanks for going to get it with Lee, I'm pleased you were able to drive her home and she didnt need towing. I hope you enjoy the Carling 
Tom - yeah bandies would look cool as! but i gotta keep it subtle - just a starter project for me so i'll learn as i go
So i better get hunting for a door and get working the elbow grease at the weekend |
