LHD Inari Silver 1981 Jetta Coupe CL Netherlands Import

Hi guys,

It's been half a year now since I sold the westy Mk2 and missed having a project to work seeing as all my friends have show winning Mk1s and being a student not the best cash injection in the world but been saving up but managed to swipe myself this! It needs a lot of work but here it is: 1981 Mk1 Jetta CL coupe.




















So far, myself and Zach have stripped down the pedal box and steering column as the auto box has blown up and came with a manual engine and box etc. So changing that over using a RHD pedal box on a LHD car so we will see how that progresses [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

Also gunked the engine but that'll be coming to pieces to be sprayed and built back up. It was sold to me as having a Webber but has a peirburg on it soooooo again we will see how that one turns out lol









That's it for now! Will try to update this as much as possible!

Cheers

Sam

lovely - really like these I think we have a few on here now with Jetta's, perhaps we ought to have a dedicated section?

lhasadreams , Ade what do you think, I know the club is all about MK1 Golfs, but these are such a close relative -we have the other cars and projects section as this us in now but I would like to see these seperated out as all the questions, tips, comments will 99% relate to the Gof as well and be good to go to them without trawling through the Mk2,3 Corrado,Non VAG etc, perhaps one for a committee question - sorry if been asked before.

I saw this for sale and instantly thought it was awesome.

Look forward to seeing this evolve

Thanks man, a Jetta section would be cool! The only thing is if there is a Jetta section there would need to be, caddy, scirocco etc.

Would be cool though!

Update:

NEW BITS 🙈












Gonna start rebuilding as much as possible before it's going to Autoshack for a respray in the new year!

That's it for now!

Will keep updating as I go along!

Progress has been slow due to exams!

But they're over soon and early edition is baring down on us!

Early edition is the target.

Some pics to keep the thread alive of new bits and some of the car:

Well done on the selection! 

Car looks good. Nice colour. Like the steering wheel should look good. 

Thanks man!
