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.

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!

Early edition is the target.
