Recent progress on my 1984 Jetta Coupe

[Jeffrey B]

An aquaintance on the VW Vortex said I should post my car to your Forum. Please be kind ;)
Last Summer I built this car , a US specification 1984 Jetta 2 door coupe. I originally was just going to clean it up, and perform the necessary repairs, and use it for a daily driver. When I took it off the road, things went a little further than I had originally planned. I proceeded to strip the car and have it painted, a new interior, coilovers, brakes, exhaust, a 1.8T engine/02J transmission swap, BBS RS, and the list goes on.

This spring, I decided to upholster the trunk, and install a modest stereo to make the car that much more finished, and therefore more enjoyable. I made and covered the trim panels with Solid and perforated leather that matches the seats, door panels, parcel shelf ,etc. The Front portion of the trunk is covered in dark brown trunkliner, and it houses the battery and 2 8" subs.

Nice ride! Are those Scirocco Mk1 bumpers? Looks pretty nice!

Actually they are US spec. early (75-79 ) NOS chrome Rabbit (Golf) bumpers. I made decorative trim strips to cover the front indicator holes in the bumper.

I was going to use Chrome early euro bumpers, but they look a little small on the rear end of the Jetta, I think.
