Default MK1 Jetta project

Finally got off my @$$ and took some pics my bucket. Bought this car for $100 bucks, it took a hit to the pass. front wheel hard enough to rip the strut from the hub. Amazingly not damaging the chassis just the sheetmetal. I put a new hub and struts in it and it drives perfect. Once I get a fender for it I will be painting the car but I have not decided what scheme/color im going with yet.










The car was completly stock. So far I have done a short shift kit, wheels, tucked bumpers, driving lights, rear fog, k&n panel W/drilled air box, sway bars, and the airdamn.
