Just picked up a 1984 blue on blue Jetta GL Turbo Diesel

[GTFORZA]

I'm the very happy fifth owner of this beautiful car. Never been painted or wrecked. A plus is that it sat in climate controlled storage from 1991 to 2008. Here are some pics.

I'm not a big fan of the filter but I've got some pipes coming in and an itg filter.

wow! That car is awesome! Sooo clean!!

What a survivor, even the low core support is really in nice shape usually the Jett's ones are all banged up.  Also love the color regatta blue metallic

I want to put some hr sport springs with Koni yellow dampers does anyone have any pics of how mk1's sit with those springs?

Be aware..an Mk1 has about 4" of stock suspension travel. Lowering it however much obviously takes that amount away from the suspension travel, unless you raise the strut towers.

So with that said.. How low are you comfortable with?

This car is mint.  Beautiful little diesel!  You must be happy with it!

Dude If you only knew. I used to have an 03 black with black leather interior Jetta GLS TDi and I absolutely loved but I got in a wreck. From that point I've been looking for a turbo diesel Jetta. It only took 3 years to find the one that said buy me.

It isn't like he said he wanted to slam it with coils. Sport springs barely even lower the car. Race springs will lower it slightly more. But H&R's paired with the right struts will lead to much better handling.

yeah I want to make my version of GTD jetta, good but comfortable handling with decent power, mk2 blue gti/gli recaros, and great brakes. I just wanted to see how 1" lowering looked

This is about a 1.5" drop.. Raceland springs and Monroe shocks/struts. Rides great unloaded, or mildely loaded. 4 people and my trunk full, max's the rears out bad on rough stuff.
