jetta coupe #2 finally becomes TD jetta coupe #2
« on: May 13, 2010, 08:58:47 pm »
i used to have an 84 coupe that i turbo'd. it was a ton of fun, but i was deep in debt and i had to sell it.  :'(  i missed it, especially when i saw what the new owners were doing to it. recently i swapped in a 16v motor along with a 2H transmission and had plans to swap in a TD into another car shortly. well i got tired of the 16v quickly and once i had the chance i pulled the sucker out and installed another diesel. its the 11mm block, originally NA but has a full factory TD setup.

im so excited to be back! and now, some pics



you see my other jetta coupe in the backround. inarisilver 1980 coupe. it will get a rebuilt JH motor along with the 2H transmission. 16v is going into a rabbit and will get a nice (16G) snail on it.

this is my daily so its gotta have the best mpg, the looks are less important to me, though i do think shes rather sexy :-*



and heres a current image of where im at. a couple more hours and it should be running  ;)
