    coupe luv *none bmw content*

    So many of you may know that my jetta took a shit a few weeks back. Well today was the first day I had some time to start pulling it apart. It was very hot out and bolts wanted to strip so I didn't get a lot done, but seeing as I'm still waiting on money for everything that needs to be done, time is not a big deal here. Just as long as I get it done before I move to Nashville.
    My buddy Cameron trying to get the axel off.


    me holding the wheel for him. I'm lazy :yawn:

    bumper and grills (not shown) ready to be painted.

    driver side coil off

    how I left it tonight


    It was hot out and lying under the car was no fun. And 3 of the DS axle bolts stripped out. So I gave up early today. Got the rad out, the airbox out, the battery out, the DS coil off and most of the DS axel bolts off, got the front end all off. The plans for the car are to swap in a 2.slow, new wheel bearings and brakes all around, new coils all around, paint the bumpers and grill. Take care of some minor rust issues, and maybe a new exhaust. Other small things here and there.

    I shopped for a MK1 Jetta coupe forever. I'm jealous but looking forward to seeing the progress. Best of luck.

          Alot of waiting and saving has been going on. Not much work though. I did get both bumpers painted and the grills, still need to paint the flares though. started working on drilling out the stripped axel bolts but one of my friends has the bit and I haven't seen him in about a week, so thats been moving slowly also. BUT I should have enough money to get it done now, so parts should start coming in soon and some actually work can get done. Just gonna throw up a few of the jetta and my neighbor's new(to him) amg, he had a really nice 7 before and he has a pretty sick stage 2 300zx turbo sitting out front.

              Wish I could. I'm trying to keep this whole bunch of parts and swap under $1,000. Or at least as close as I can keep it to $1,000 that is lol.
