as the topic states i have a 1990 jetta tdi for sale with an alh 90 tdi swap. here are the details ALH TDI (MK4) engine & transmission swap. Engine had 20k on it when It swapped it. Now has 85k on it. It gets roughly 48MPG. H&R Cup Kit GLI Recaro front seats early 3 pt harness seatbelts, non passive MK3 spindles and brakes up front Rear disc conversion g60 flairs mk4 cluster saab blackstone IC Upsolute stage 2 chip Ball joints, control arms, tie rods, wheel bearings, etc were all new when the swap was done. since i’ve owned the car i’ve put new rear rotors and pads along with new bearings. i’ve put a new windshield, new e-brake cables, and a new lightly used vnt-15 turbo. the car just really only needs one thing to be a really smooth ride which is new struts, the h and r cup kit is getting a bit tired and the struts need to be replaced. i’ve got one pic at the moment but i’ll try to get some more tonight or tommorrow ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/mk2tdi006.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/mk2tdi006.jpg) i bought the car with 70k on it last december and ever since i’ve put a good 15k on it. this car is unbelievbly reliabe and sooo fun to drive. its honestly more fun to drive then my BT 1.8t golf at times. the torque hits so hard and just pulls. if i’d have to say how fast it is, its about the equivilent to a chipped 1.8t or a stock 2.0t mk5 gti. car put down 130whp and around 260 tq… car also averages between 46-53mpg on average all said and done, i’m asking 4150 obo. gas prices are going to be going up soon. thats my vwvortex price… shoot me some offers. NEW PICS ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale001.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale001.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale002.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale002.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale003.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale003.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale004.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale004.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale005.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale005.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale006.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale006.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale007.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale007.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale008.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale008.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale009.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale009.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale010.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/tdipower4me/tdiforsale010.jpg) sorry guys, car is dirty as the wether is etheir cold, it rains or both like today :banghead: i’ll try to clean her up a bit this weekend. ---

Any rust on any other parts of the car? some surface rust, nothing rotting… windshield is brand new and no rust around it from what i remember… really solid car minus the suspension… if the person is interested i can work out a deal with a set of new wietec coilovers that a buddy of mine has for sale. ---
