AerogintDub's build thread

I bought my Jetta off of a guys wife, after he was deported. The car was 400 dollars, and in somewhat decent shape. I spent the last year de-ricing the car. Getting rid of neons, a boewing 757 wing, purple fog lights, and more. Paint peeling and all I decided to kick my Jetta in the ass.

Some updates

[dubdreaming]

let us know how that turbo kit goes... i am picking up a 2.0 block to rebuild, putting a 16v head on it and thinking turbo or s/c for the fiance's jetta

[VWjetta97]

wow that will definitly improve it big time man! cant wait to see the results

[VentoVr]

wish i could jus fork out the cash for the turbo... needless to say nice project you got.

[Airogents]

if you create your own set up its cheap....cheaper than any kits. Regardless I sold my VR-4 and I work my as off as a chef.
