    1998 Jetta TDI with VR6 Swap

    This is a longshot but i'll try here too, just incase:

    I am selling a White 98 Jetta TDI That a friend VR6 Swapped for me. The car runs and drives flawlessly, and has been my daily driver since the summer.

    The only reason I am selling is because I miss my old E30 and would like to build another one. This truly is a great car for the money. Here's what it currently has

    Motor:
    OBD2 VR6 Swap, seals/gaskets replaced. leaks/burns nothing
    2.9L intake manifold
    C2 Motorsport Chip
    Unorthodox Pulleys
    Lightweight Flywheel
    Corrado VR6 transmission
    Pelloquin LSD
    Full 3" stainless exhaust to a borla muffler. no cat

    Suspension:
    H&R Ultra Low Coilovers
    new strut bearings
    Full 5-lug swap from a 97 GTI
    Rear Disc conversion
    fresh brakes, pads, and all new brake lines
    New ebrake and lines was installed with the swap as well
    New control arms, axles, and Powerflex polyurethane control arm bushings
    16" Beetle steel wheels with Mk5 Jetta 16" hubcaps

    interior:
    stock with exception to Alpine Headunit and Corrado G60 non-airbag steeringwheel

    Other:
    Brand new OEM VW hood sprayed professionally in primer white, was waiting to finish painting it because I intended to spray the whole car
    4 BRAND NEW kumho ecsta tires (literally 300 miles max on these)
    OEM Euro Duckbill spoiler

    The car has a few issues, they are minor:
    -powersteering is non-op right now. it needs a new rack. I can include one with the sale
    -Windshield has a 2 VERY small cracks in the corners, and sometimes during heavy rain it will leak a little but causing the headliner to get a little damp in the front.
    This is a MkIII. It does have rust. there is a small rust hole in the rocker on the drivers side. There is some minor floor rot. it is along below the rockers on the passenger side. Also, 2 very small bubbles are forming on top of the windshield.
    It is clean and rust free in all the right places, the shock towers are flawless and over all the car feels very solid. it is VERY quick and has even given me my first speeding ticket in 5 years.

    I would like to get 3750 for this car, It is worth that alone in parts. My initial intention was to fix the small amount of rust and keep it for a long time, but I truly miss having an E30. As cliche as it sounds, my loss is most certainly your gain.
    my name is Andrew and I can be reached at 9oh8-24six-861seven. my Email is ahoffman04@yahoo.com. Feel free to ask any question you may have, i feel as though I have been honest in the representation of the vehicle but I am open to any inquiries.

        Yeah, with a diesel title you don't need to inspect vehicles here in NJ

                then don't post in my thread Julien. that simple.

                The TDI went in a mk1, which is much cooler than a TDI in this jetta...
