My first gasser. And my other junk

[RabbitJockey]

I've been looking for a mk3 to daily for a while now,  most are very rusty or beat to hell.  I really wanted a golf but I found this 97 jetta trek edition.  Has nice bolstered seats.  I just bought it yesterday, that same night the exhaust blew out and the car became incredibly loud, I noticed the fog lights, ac, and sun roof didn't work.  I pulled the switch down from the sun roof and saw the it wasn't plugged in but the plug was incompatible With the switch, turns out the whole motors missing haha.  Still a rust free mk3. That runs good and drives nice. Maybe a diesel one day.

Yep, that does look pretty clean

I'll drive down and trade you my snowflakes for those rims?

Deal?

I'll bring some beer from Canada too

[RabbitJockey]

Haha no way I love flyers.  Ucan bring the beer down tho.  I wanted a mk3 golf to diesel swap because we never got them here but oh we'll this thing was nice and I was tired of driving my cherry rabbit in the winter

we got the mk3 TDI's in 97 and 98 but good luck finding one that can be considered clean haha

Yah.. but you guys didn't get the mk3 AAZ, and golf didn't get the TDI till 99.

sometimes i'm glad to live in the UK MK3 TDi daily, MK3 TDi donor car scrapped, Audi 80 TDi engine for the caddy
Jetta (vento?) looks nice though, not so common here

yeah too many people thought "ewww diesels dirty"  either way nice score (even if it is a gasser lol)

Yes I meant there were no mk3 golf diesels.

Yea here in the us we always get the ***ty end of the stick when it comes to foreign cars, we never get the good models like turbo Silvia, ford cosworth, or even the aaz engine!!!  In North America excluding Mexico the golf with a trunk is always called jetta.  I think it's because hatch backs are not as popular here and atleast from the mk2 era forward jettas far outsold the golf so they kept the name I guess.  So much so that the golf estate is a jetta wagon here.

 now who wants to buy my rabbit?

FWIW, I saw a Bora badge for the first time on the highway today, south of Detroit.

[RabbitJockey]

Here are my other cars

81 rabbit ls diesel






And my 81 jetta td.  Was an absolute turns when I got it, basically everything needed replaced and my dad helped me do almost everything to it,  it's still a project for me since the engine is in pieces haha.

looks like whatever rims are on your jetta is what you need to trade me
