Long story short: I don't have enough time between school and work for the ghia, so I sold it, doubled my money, and bought a friends 1985 5 speed Jetta.
Pretty clean, solid 3 owner car. Paint is faded, interior is faded, and door panels are not in the best shape in the back, but I got an extra front seats, rear seat, and door panels with the car. Also got a ton of extra brake parts to switch the rear from Disk, back to Drum.
It runs and drives good, but no power steering kinda sucks. The O2 sensor had the wire cut and I cant find out where It goes, and the Cold start needs tinkering with. Nonetheless I'm pretty exited, and hey, I can actually drive it.

It has Disk at the moment, but you need special E-Brake cables for it to work on a Mk2. It's cables from a Mk1 Scirocco or something that I need, and they're apparently pretty rare/expensive. And just my luck, they don't reproduce them. Everything I need to switch it back to drum came with the car, and it's going to need new brakes sometime anyways. I'm not too thrilled, but I found myself wishing I had an E-Brake more than I thought.

I already have plans on lowering it once I fix the engine troubles. I was considering maybe some Patec coilovers. They ride nice, and they can go pretty low :

Other than that, Ill powdercoat the rims, and roll them untill I can find something better.
don't know for sure on the rims yet, but whatever

At the moment, the car is broke down in the driveway. It had a bad intake leak, so we replaced the ripped boot, and now it acts like the injectors are bad. So here's to not having a car for the next week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/facepalm.gif)

Anyways, I did a little research, and it looks like Racelands are better than Patec coils. They're a little expensive, but apparently the difference is massive, and worth stepping up.

Yesterday was a Bicycle show I was going to, and I had the car all loaded up, just to find out it wont run.

Also found that the radio I have already fits the existing radio hole.
