Description : 05 Apr, 2023

Up for sale is one of my MKI Jetta's, in this case a 1983. This car started out life as a TD with a weird auto transmission and it was my intension to convert it to gas with some mild performance upgrades along with a manual gear box. The engine came from a 1986 GTI(as did the close ratio gear box) and is the 105HP version. As it was running well at the time it was pulled I limited the work done to a fresh high volume oil pump and oil baffle, windage tray, new crank oil seals front and rear, and new cam fallowers(to be installed with a new cam, which I never ordered). The engine has a full Prothane engine mount kit and new-ISH aftermarket rad. The steering rack was swapped out to modate the new shift linkage and was mounted on Prothane bushings and given new tie rod ends. The shift linkage was given a new set of bushings And short shift kit from KYB. Beyond the engine and transaxle are an upper stress bar from KYB and lower stress bar courtesy of Eibach. It was my intention to use dual carbs on this engine and to that end I have a set of Solex 40s that were given a fresh gasket kits while retaining the stock jetting(I have yet to locate an intake manifold). Currently the car is riding on 14" bottle caps but I also have a full set of 14" Scala rims(which I will sell separately if the price is right) as spares. This car could Really be something if someone has the time and skill to finish it but as I already Have another running Jetta and a 1977 Yamaha RD 400 that take up a lot of time, that someone can't be me, and so I am forced to sell My loss can be someone else's gain and someone out there Should give this car the TLC that it deserves. Asking $1,900 OBO, NO Lowballers Please. Thanks for looking in and have a great day.

Edit: The Scala rim set just sold and is no longer available. Some people have claimed that not showing the floorboards is in some way a scam on my part given that a car this age couldn't possibly have intact floors: to that end I am including floor board shots to show that there are NO holes in the floor pan of this MKI.
