VolkswagenDragon's 1997 Volkswagen JettaVolkswagenDragon's 1997 Volkswagen JettaJust bought a 97 Jetta GL. 5 speed. So far no complaints except my reverse slips. Can't figure out which VW I should trick out. This one or my golf? ANy suggestions?

 

came with a clean interior, but the driver seat wobbles, I think the first thing I need to do is find some nice racing seats.VolkswagenDragon's 1997 Volkswagen JettaVolkswagenDragon's 1997 Volkswagen Jetta The 2.0 engine was clean and runs like a champ.

VolkswagenDragon's 1997 Volkswagen Jetta Both bumpers have little dings in them. They both need to be repainted.

Here's the set of rimsVolkswagenDragon's 1997 Volkswagen Jetta I'm putting on it.

 

17 inch allumium deep dish with 2 and a half inch lip. They were in rough shape when I bought them.

 CURBED UP, EVERY RIM WAS SCRATCHED! HE MUST NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN NEW YORK!

SO I sanded them down and repainted them, Just waiting for the tires to come UPS and these bad boys are going on the Jetta. More pics in a week or so.VolkswagenDragon's 1997 Volkswagen Jetta

      VolkswagenDragon's 1997 Volkswagen Jetta I'm thinking of painting the lip white to match the car... whatdaya think???

HEY DOES ANYONE KNOW A GOOD INTERIOR PLACE TO GET CUSTOM SEATS FOR MY JETTA??? LEMME kNOw!

Hey just tossed new outer tie rods on the car, pics coming soon, just need an alignment and my rims will be going on. I understand there is way hotter cars on this site, but mine will get there soon, its a slow process, check back soon! peace

5-22-2009 just added a little bump to the ride, ran the wires, and put my alpine mp3 player with the ipod psp attatchment. Next i'll be mounting my psp somewhere below the radio.

Here's a little kicker 12 i just tossed in there for now.VolkswagenDragon's 1997 Volkswagen Jetta

New alpine radio with the psp / ipod attachment. I also installed a 3 way lighter  socket to power everything. (You cant really see it, it's mounted to the passenger side. Right now I have the navigation wedged in the window above the radio but I'm gonna be getting tstick on window thing. All in due time. TIRES/LOWERING SPRINGS ARE ON THE WAY!!!

I ripped the seat out and buried my amp underneath it. It fit just right. Just gotta get my capacitor in there before I toss so heavy shit in the trunk. But this is good enough for now.

NOW YA SEE IT
