Gem's mk1 Jetta

Good man

Done abit to the jetta today.

Replaced the radiator so it does'nt leak anymore lol

Gem hoovered and cleaned the interior

and i also fitted some le castellet alloys.

Took her for a spin round the block, bit sluggish and stalled a few time but think thats all down to the fuel in it as the tax on it ran out june 03 lol so i guess she's been stood since then.

Couple a pic's

thats a funny round the block lee

lol, to the 40 foot and back

As most of you have noticed. Decided not to sell the jetta in the end .

it was'nt all bad though as i got offered parts while it was advertised so i now have....

replacement drivers side rear door in the same colour
backbox
drivers side taillight(original has tape covering a hole).

now that she's gunna be hanging around for some time, i'll be ordering some coilovers as soon as funds allow and drop her over some refurbed psluts or my other RM's. Not sure yet but either way, she'll look sweet

looks sweet, i cant believe how high they look stock. mines lowered 110mm at the mo and its way to bumpy.

ive been on the search for some odd ball rims but havent found any thing yet. so im still on steelys

It is wrong not to be that low

have you seen this one on retro rides looks sweet.

Is there an easy way to remove door hinge pins?. The fella i got my replacement door from decided to cut the top hinge to get it off

Is that your silver mk1 jetta lance cos i see it in chesterton the other day ?

yer it was , i was working there last week.
just bought some new rims from the usa for the jetta,
they cost me a bit but they are fat.

work equips 03
im not sure how to take the pins out of mk1 back doors but they must
come out.

Sick wheel dude, im supremely jelous

wots the specs?

15x8.5 et23
i was bidding on those tramont rims you bought of ebay last week
but i guess you won them.

Cool they goin on the jetta?

it wasnt u that tried to out bid me at the last min was it , lol

yeh they are going on the jetta and i bid about 50 pound less than your winning bid, i was looking for some 14s for months but i supose 15s will do.

how much u splash out for those wheels then lance? look pretty sick!

Ive seen them equips on a usa based green mk1 golf. Nice wheels and rare.

where u find that jetta then u seem to have a endless supply.

i see the jetta in a garden so i nocked and got it for 300 with 1 years t&t.
and the rims and tyres cost me three times more then the jetta they should be here next week some time.
i see this at the weekend with gold ones

Ive knocked on many doors its allways worth asking about a car.

caddyrage hows the jetta coming along. did you sort that door.

I've heard from a workmate as to the possible wherebouts of a another jetta like mine/gem's. May go on a search for it lol

all i know is, its bloody mint and owned by another old man lol
seen it not long after moving to doddington.

lance, not sorted door yet. still gotta remove the hinge pins!!

went to replace the backbox and the front pipe fell to bits so that aint on either.

when it aint fooking raining, i'll get the downpipe off so i know which replacement i need.

think the hinge pins are a press fit aint they, so maybe abit of heat around them will free them up abit to be able to knock them out?

Aww the joys of door pin's.... What a royal pain in the arse:lol!:
