NLS has one for sale on whoretex... its a high floor though with dasher rear suspention... this has caddy rear and lower floor.. like 6-12" differance.. so far i gots 3k in it with picking up, fuel/tolls/dolly/title/tax and historical plates.. now i ust gotta build it..
right now trying to figure out best way to bring it down to the ground.. still waiting on tdi rebuild parts..
thinking i need to buy a new steel tube and build a new rear axel with drop plates built in so i can run a 15x6 wheel with no issues... thinking 15x7 will not fit.. and think drop plates will make 15x6 not work too.. web page has huge pics with measurements on what i have to play with..

yep euro mk1 jetta.. have had them since 94.. they belong in the red one.. but since its been sitting from 05.. gas costs too much.. i used them in the blue/grey one..
blue/grey one is for sale..
with na headlights.. basic black seats, stock steering wheel and clock instrument cluster.. has recaros and stuff in it at the moment.. but they for the wagon and stuff..

so updates...
finally figured out how to bring it to earth...
the rear has been a issue.. only so much room for the quarter panels to wheel/tire area.. 1/2" room with a 13x4.5 et -45 wheel.. so how to drop..
i own a set of porsche phone dials 15x7 that i use on my b3 1.6td wagon.. if i redrill the rear 200mm drums on this to 5x130 i can use the drop plates and be about 3mm shy of the quarterpanel.. 3mm may not be much.. but it seems to be my best option.. so 3" drop commin..
i got my h4s for it.. i picked up my boost/pyro/amp gauges today.. modded a passat speedo cable to work on my speedo.. pillidged volt/op/oil temp/water temp/tach/ fuel and clock.. built the instrument panel up..
figured out how to mount my recaro's in it..
mounted a clutch pedal.. figured out where im putting a clutch master..
once i get some "built" pics ill get some pics up.. but it is in apart phase of test fit so on..

You should insulate the interior, it won't heat up as bad, and it will be warmer in the winter. It will also be quieter. If it was mine I'd put a bed in the back for those long trips and bush parties if you know what I mean......

http://www.crsmp5.com/burnt_toast/5_25_11.htmtodays work...
took some pics for the divemasters guy.. aka floor area/ rear suspention set up..
also built the bracket for the clutch master and pedal affixment..
dont pick too much on my welding.. still learing how to do things with the new tig... outside good... interior corners suck..
i plan to dynomat it.. also plan to set it up where 2 hammocs can be hung for my 2-3 week out west and back on 90 gal of bio at the end of summer..
the roof is already insulated... and at some point i will add ac to it.. just not this season..

updates...
26th
i did front wheel bearings, clearanced stuff for 100mm axels, cleaned all the paint off the g60 brake adapters.. ball joint on left side, still waiting on the new right tie rod for left side so its adjustable, installed the porsche adapters, installed a set of dummy (aka old broken cv joint) stub axles..
started into the wiring..
27th
rear brakes, new bearings, so on... remove all paint from the 3" drop plates.. clean all rust off the rear axle and stubs so it all goes together with no possibility of things commin loose..
created a handbrake set up.. using the stock handbrake lever on the steering column.. its pretty tits.. can adjust it for more/less parking brake..
mounted some fogs..
rebuilt the tail lights.. siliconed them up so they will not leak.. also siliconed the windshield..
blead brakes with a flush..
painted the grill and front bumper..
the 28th is a day of wiring.. yea fun.. but till engine rebuild parts show up its what i got to play with..
ill get some pics of it on the ground tomarrow.. its so much better looking with the drop.... wonder how much lower the front will be once there is a engine in it..
