After moving and getting settled in, it didn't take long before I got an itch to get another mk3. I knew it was only a matter of time considering I've been regretting getting rid of the first one I had for some time now.
Anyways, drove 4hrs to pick up this pile. Nice southern car with no rot. Even with the faded panels, I think I have a good shot at sourcing a new trunk lid and hood to freshen it up. The roof can get wrapped... Everything else can be brought back to life imo. Also has a TDI, 250k on the clock (engine bay is still cleaner than my 100k ABA when I lived in NY). All my other Jettas have been ABAs, with the exception of one VR6 I had a while back. So this should be fun.
On the way home, 2500 doing the derty werk,
Previous owner was definitely into rolling coal. Funny thing, when I picked it up they kept asking me why I drove so far to pick up such a pile. Kept asking me over and over - I think they were worried they were selling something worth more than they were asking... I just wanted a Jetta man, that's all. I can't explain it.
