Hi Guys
Finally got what i always wanted a jetta and can easy do a golf3 front end conversion..

Got this little Jetta, 96 model. 2.0 auto (sucks)..Blue, had a bit of a front smash which is great, cause i can now change the from end to a golf front end and do a full dress up and try and get the sexy back in it, he he he...

I have set of 17' TSW imolas to throw on it, but might be looking at something else...As for accessories, everything is getting imported from South Africa, so it will be full SA Style...

Thought i post some before pics and then some after (hopefully 3 months) max...trying hard to get back into Dubber Mode, this is a start at least..

Hey George

Thanks mate. How are you doing?

For the time being i think i would get it sprayed and fit the new 2 fin grill on the front and the vr6 spoiler. Then changing the side blinkers to smoke and the rear lights to semi smoke. Maybe a 17" rim and drop it like it hot...

Future plans, maybe vr6 transplant.

The new name, thingy, Eish, i couldnt post up anything under my previous profile and after several attempts to try and rectify it with admin guys, i received no response, so well, its still me Zee...

Cheers Buddy

That is absolutely sweet! Nice work I love vento's. I doubt there's more than about 5 modded one's in Australia lol. Once the front is sprayed that thing will be perfect.
