1990 VW Jetta Mk2 VR6 CUSTOM 5spd
Up for sale is a show field ready vehicle.
RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a completely restored
and retro-modified 1990 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan VR6 Mk2
has grey cloth RECARO interior with front power seats
and Wolfsburg chrome trim and will includes a set of five forged BBS wheels
Kenwood CD/MP3/USB/iPod stereo with Kicker speakers, amp, and subwoofers.
Custom Porsche Jade Green paint
with a shaved engine bay and a complete engine swap
vehicle is powered by a 1998 VR6 2.8L engine with OBD2 and 5speed 020A transmission and the engine is dressed with a stainless steel skid plate
and completed with a T-304 stainless steel exhaust
Battery relocated to the trunk with fused relays for the headlights and stereo.
Also have the USDM front grill with Hella lights and
a full European Quad grille with Glass Halo lights and a badge-less grille.
The car can be shown, seen, and inspected by appointment.
This vehicle was completely redone and has about $40k invested.
Similar vehicles have been sold from $15k-$25k.
This car is not a project car and is complete and a daily driver or show car.
Vehicle passed Virginia State Inspection and Emissions certifications in 3/2013.
Which means no Virginia state inspection until 3/2014 and it will not have to pass emissions in the state of Virginia ever again as it will be considered an antique in 2015 by Virginia DMV laws.
Please be aware that currently the car is setup without Power steering or Air Conditioning but the brackets are there and these could easily be added to the vehicle if wanted. The car runs better without these features in my opinion.
Weight savings on the A/C delete was nearly 300 lbs and the manual steering is much more responsive.
Everything works on the car as it should heat, gauges, and rear defroster.
Suspension is dialed in on Raceland coilovers with T-304 stainless steel solid front strut mounts.
Simply put, you could not build this car for less than what I am asking for it.
This car was custom built from a 1990 VW Jetta GL with no accident history and it is an original no sunroof vehicle with manual windows and the basics.
The interior was sourced from two Jetta GLI 16V factory Recaro equipped cars.
The engine swap and conversion was sourced from a rear hit 1998 VW Jetta GLX with only 78k miles on the motor. The car had about 90k miles on it before the restoration, swap, and build. The engine conversion and swap was completed using factory parts and Euro-wise conversion kit.
Again, you could not build this car for less than what I am asking for it.
Parts and Labor this car would be twice my asking price.
Send offers.
I will entertain trades, offers, and may offer a partial owner financing option.
Plan to sell this car by the end of the month, so don't hesitate if interested.
Vehicle will be advertised locally, appear at local car events with a for sale sign, and will be listed on eBay as it must be sold.
I am a car enthusiast, having built, modified, and tuned many vehicles over the years and have thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle. I am selling this Jetta to focus on other projects and interests. This is an exceptional vehicle that you could drive anywhere. I feel that I do not drive it enough and thus have decided to list it for sale. Need the space, have to let go of my toys. Bring all offers.
I will assist with shipping, pickup, or delivery.
Please be aware:
I have a Wolfsburg Edition steering wheel but it is not currently installed, due to the need of a steering wheel hub adapter.
There is an air horn in the car and it is currently wired to a button on the dashboard. All wiring is correct except for this function and the windshield washer function.
Currently the horn and windshield washers are wired to buttons rather than their respective locations in the steering column.
I could not isolate the windshield washer switch toggle on the washer arm and therefore wired in a push button feature.
The upgraded air horn required a relay and these two functions could be wired to their factory locations, switches, and functionality if needed.
The wiring for these two functions (horn and windshield washers) was done as a temporary solution to opening up the steering column wiring.
The buttons are located in places which could be removed to maintain a factory look installation.
I had planned on correcting this when I installed the Wolfsburg steering wheel and just have not gotten around to it.
Pretty minor issue.
The headliner is in great shape, the Recaros are in excellent shape but there is a small spot on the driver seat that has a cut about one inch long. Yet it is in pretty good shape and not frayed or anything, probably could be stitched or glued. Only noticed it because I'm meticulous when it comes to my cars.
There is a Fuba Antenna is in the rear dash area, because I didn't want to drill a hole in the roof of the car.
Car has a recent tune, oil, lube, filter, new battery, new alternator, recent s-belt change, the Falken tires are decent, brakes are decent, but I would expect brakes and tires with normal wear and tear may need replacement within one year depending on how much you drive.
All-in-all this is comparable to a brand new car.

VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.
Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?
Wed, 01 May 2013Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
