the jetta does run, its been my daily driver for the last month. im replacing the alternator tonight because the old one is getting noisy. It needs a front motor mount, that i have coming and ordered already and probably will do this weekend. It really doesn’t need anything else besides a piece of linkage for the mono-wiper.
don’t get me wrong, ill be the first to tell you straight out. Dont expect to get the car and drive it all summer, probably beat on it, and not have to do anything to it. Its a vr6. its semi- high maintainance. Its a great motor, you just have to stay on top of things with it AT ALL TIMES. After the rebuild the car has been nothing but great running for me. Ive only had small issues and i worked them ALL out.
Hope that clears everything up
You and one guy from dubsinthebuff are both interested, if neither of you buy it, im going to keep it and paint it over the winter.
