1986 Jetta 2 Door (Coupe) Shell

[malone]

Diesel title, originally had a 1.6D motor.



The car is very stripped. The only exterior parts needed are fenders. Taillights are included. There is no interior except for door panels and I may be able to throw in clean front seats.

It was my TDI project but I sold the TDI engine and I no longer need this coupe, which is currently parked at Passenger Performance in Aldergrove, BC, Canada.

I bought this coupe on Vancouver Island where road salt is rarely used, and towed it all the way here. The body has very very minimal rust, quite impressive for a '86.

I'm asking $800 CAD but I'm very open to offers as I can't keep the car for long. You can contact me here or email me at sales@dieselinside.com

The front bumper is dark blue, which can be repainted white or you can revert to small bumpers if desired.

[RabbitGTDguy]

Man...wish it was easier to bring this over the border... a 2dr. shell hard to find here...especially in nice shape. Someone grab this!

Joe

[RabbitGTDguy]

anyone know about import laws for bringing this over the border? I know someone who might want this or I may even consider it myself. I have a 4 dr. i'm parting that was to be a project but when I got it I really wanted to find a 2dr. Hmm... This is too sweet Like i said previously...someone really needs to pic this up

Joe

[malone]

Thanks Joe I should have pictures of the interior soon. Just a reminder that interior & engine are DIY. It'll be a fun project!

[BlackTieTD]

would be an excellent winter alternate for my girlfriend who will be driving a white 2-dr mkI jetta for the summer. wrong side of the country and timing! ..but a nice start to a project for someone.  

[935racer]

Someone scoop this up so I have more room on the lot! It really is a solid clean shell, this is a perfect project base for someone. Unfortunately I don't know what the laws are importing from canada to the US, I have only done vice versa. And its really not all that hard going this way.

[vwmike]

I'm not sure how it works either, but whoever imported my Jetta didn't change anything. It looks like there was actually very little difference. So far this is the list I've found

-Stickers in the door jam and on the core support are different
-Speedometer is in KM
-It just has an exclamation point for the parking brake light instead of saying brake.

As near as I can tell it's been here since 1991. Carfax only returned a "vehicle manufactured and shipped to original dealer" in 1989....which is confusing because it's an 88...but whatever.

So, I'd guess there has to be a way you can get that car back into the US...although without it running that might complicate things...or simplify them in another respect.

[RabbitGTDguy]

For all that care...and if the money came available... thats about 700 US and here is some info on bringing it over... not too hard...

From the US DOT's website...  http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/VIG_Canada07032.html

**************All passenger cars, motorcycles, multipurpose vehicles - MPV, or light trucks less than 25 years old imported for personal use (not resale) into the U.S. on a permanent basis from Canada should follow this procedure. This process may also be followed if a vehicle was originally imported from Canada on a temporary basis or if prior DOT or U.S. Customs clearance was not obtained.


Contact the manufacturer of the vehicle to request a letter, having them state if the vehicle complies with all applicable U.S. Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS). The letter from the manufacturer must identify your vehicle by the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). READ THE LETTER CAREFULLY.


If the manufacturer letter states that the vehicle complies with U.S. FMVSS, except for minor labeling requirements, you have an acceptable letter. This letter along with your vehicle registration should be presented to the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (Customs) at the border. Customs will review the manufacturer letter to assure that the vehicle complies. (DOT approval of the manufacturer letter was discontinued as of April 8, 1997.)


If the manufacturer letter states that the vehicle meets all U.S. FMVSS, except for the speedometer, or headlights, you may have these components replaced at a dealer authorized by the factory to repair your vehicle. In addition to the documents cited in item 2, above, you must present the invoice for the speedometer or headlight replacement to obtain Customs approval.


If the manufacturer letter states that the vehicle meets all U.S. FMVSS except for FMVSS No. 208 (automatic or passive restraint requirements) you WILL NOT be able to bring your vehicle into the U.S. on a permanent basis unless it is modified by an RI. If an RI is willing to modify the vehicle, it may be expensive and may change your desire to import the vehicle.


If the manufacturer will not issue a letter for your vehicle, the only method to import your vehicle on a permanent basis is to contract with an RI.


EPA approval is also required. You may call the EPA information line at: (202) 564-9660.***************

They also list the phone numbers for auto manu's you need to call, etc.
