    My "fix some rust" project is getting... out of hand (in a good way ) It's getting a 3-link and TDi swap. Is it a candidate? Should it get a different thread for these parts of the project?

    Right side is similar (don't have the frame-side bracket completed yet)

    Progress update: Configuring the left engine mounts. Mounts themselves are non-hydraulic (cheap) versions of a Passat (B5?) part. I figured if the thing shakes obnoxiously then I can upgrade to the expensive version of them. Still some gusseting, trimming, and minor adjustments needed, but this is the basic idea.

    Info on these tweeters?

    This would be an enormous undertaking; nobody will stock that piece anyways. Also agree that you'd be lucky if the doors ever shut properly again on that thing (it would move a LOT with the whole floor out of it).

    Diesel who?

    Did you decide not to use the re-covered dash?

    The wife's JK came with halogen KC lights already installed; spot on the bumper and flood on the windshield. I didn't care for this arrangement so once they're go back on they'll be reversed. To me, the spot lights belong near the driver's eyes and the floods somewhere NOT next to the hood to reflect back at your face.

    Great job on that floor pan. I feel your pain!

    Inspections are mainly the same way for us here. What isn't as good about the DOT ones?
  12. A-man930
    So... they're not actually legal for me to use on the road... why do I want these vs. the DOT ones? I actually ran across the ECE ones first and it looks like nobody stocks them right now.

    Have you looked in the filter yet? You should cut it open when you change it.

    Awesome!

    Are these the Hellas we should be looking at? https://www.amazon.com/HELLA-003427291-190x132mm-Conversion-Headlamp/dp/B0002M9QRE?th=1

    The only LED headlamps I would consider are the Truck-Lite ones, though it looks like they've changed them. Problem is that they COST too much. Good to know about the Hella H4s

    Dang. This picture makes me want a sportbar

    More info on the powder coating setup ya got there!
  19. A-man930
    I've considered this, but wasn't sure if it's "tough" enough; specifically where the driver's feet sit (I wore out that area on mine when it had Herculiner over the whole floor). How many coats do you think you did? Which product did you use? They (now) have one product for heat and one for sound. As noted by other's, I would be hesitant to put anything other than a properly-applied coating of some kind on any surface where water can pool. What about some kind of glorified floormats? Carpet, vinyl, or whatever you want secured in some manner that's easy to remove but still gives some sound/heat protection. Might have to get creative keeping it from scooting around...

    Uh, no. That new Bronco is HOT

    Not sure if it's tilted as far as in the Jetta, but it's the same direction. Clearance to the steering shaft:

    I needed to have the transfer case installed to ensure the new control arm brackets weren't in the way, and that led me to pretty solidly decide on engine placement. The trans mount is sitting about 2" forward from factory (OE crossmember is in place for now) and the adapter is clocked full-passenger. As-is, the factory Jetta turbo/manifold (VNT15) actuator won't clear the extra A/C compressor's fittings, but it's not impossible to re-clock. Otherwise it fits! I was assuming I wouldn't have the option to use it. LATER DISCOVERED BOTH COMPRESSOR SIT TOO CLOSE TO AXLE FOR MY COMFORT Track bar clearance (or lack thereof): Gonna make a new mount and flip it

    See I'm actually enjoying the repairs, but they're going. so. slow! I just needed some visual progress.
