well it's been a while since i posted any pics of my car on here. the truth is, is that it has been under construction for a while and it is finally starting to come together. it's not done but it is 99% finished.

you might know it by this jetta

[

and now here is the new and improved jetta. keep in mind that this is a 60$ paint job that i did myself infront of my house. im no body man im only 18 yrs old.

did someone say badgless rear

my new headlight covers and german plate

its just lowered in the back right now, i'll get the fronts this weekend

gotta represent the german culture

now on to the real improvements. the last time you guys saw the engine it was sporting a small little t3 .42 .48 turbo. now it has a te 50 trim a new rebuilt tranny and a custom oil catch can i made out of a soap dispencer. hehe and yesterday i got board so i flipped the intercooler and made a custom air box for it. hope you like the new improvements.

well there you have it, my newly improved jetta. just remember i did this all on a small budget and im no fabricater, but everything does work and she's lookin good now. all comments and flames welcome.

looks good in white from the pics at least. what kinda paint did you use? that closeup is really what the texture looks like? i guess for a cheap paintjob just to clean it up it looks ok but if you use decent paint and wetsand that you'd be able to get a lot of the orange peel out of it.
other than that the little flag thing seems cool but does it get kinda messy by the wheel well? that kinda kills it.
ic looks good though and the box for it looks real functional.
good goin...

nopistons94 · 07-14-2007, 07:00 PM

so its swapped and stuff, looks pretty cool to me

DSMTJ · 07-15-2007, 12:21 AM

i love it.

italianblaze · 07-15-2007, 12:26 AM

hehe nice i deff like it
home made turbo kit
very creative

garrettej8 · 07-15-2007, 12:48 AM

nice. do you actually use the roof rack though? I see a ton of vw's with roof racks and they just use them for the looks, which is kind of, well, dumb. I like what you've done with the airbox.

240sxDann · 07-15-2007, 12:52 AM

I like it man! You should deffinitly go the dubbin route and put some widened steelies on with some stretched tires.

Dave · 07-15-2007, 12:55 AM

ditch the mirror flags, then it will be cool

garrettej8 · 07-15-2007, 12:57 AM

definitely get widened steelies, like these:

den9 · 07-15-2007, 04:21 AM

ur paint job looks like the front of a fridge door, but that is a nice car, clean engine

Sberk06 · 07-15-2007, 04:35 AM

ditch the flags, and roof rack..

imo i would have painted it black.. something about the molding that makes it weird.... use the white now as a primer and get some black.. honestly i think the flags would look better on a black shiney car.. maybe the roof rck would be ok then too.

Krazed02 · 07-15-2007, 12:01 PM

id leave all that stuff on there, its like the perfect sleeper

james_ls · 07-15-2007, 12:32 PM

I like it.

Very original...something that VERY few cars really are anymore.

I think it needs to be SLIZZAMED though...

whiteturbo · 07-15-2007, 02:14 PM

i was like meh, until i saw the engine

. Not bad i like the hood colors, not bad.

Blkmax · 07-15-2007, 02:32 PM

looks good Swales! haha your car is so much fun to drive man..such a sleeper

turbo4g63 · 07-15-2007, 03:21 PM

you've got a bit of an "orange peel" type of thing going on there! other than that its pretty cool...you would never see it coming thats for sure

naDintheHat · 07-15-2007, 03:38 PM

Very nice, drools.

77F-150 · 07-15-2007, 03:50 PM

TurboTagTeam · 07-15-2007, 07:54 PM

Damn swales, I though you were mexican or somethin like that. What's up with all the german flags??? And you need a black FMIC ASAP.

I like the new paint though.
