Last week I picked up a new to me '03 JSW GLS 5 speed from one of the TDI community gurus. It's a California car that had 230k miles and a blown motor and he swapped in a good 154k mile motor and did a few maintenance items like TB and clutch. Also found out then that it has a very new SMF. I feel like the deal was pretty fair for both of us though I'm still in the process of finding out just exactly where the car truly stands and what all it needs. Most everything seems to be in pretty good working order so far though it was extremely dirty. I imagine with a "new" car like this I will stumble onto something maintenance-wise here before too long and figured such getting into it but nonetheless, I finally have my wagon.
Now for the reason you probably showed up to begin with ... pictures.
Got it home. I'm really interested to find the name of this color. And are those VR6 wheels or what?
Got it tinted on Monday - a must have in south central Texas. The pics do it much justice. The paint is hurting a bit but I do like the color especially when wet or in low light.
First mod done.
I'll try and update this thread as things happen. Probably won't be doing any write-ups as they're mostly very well done and documented but I figure y'all get entertainment with progress and pics and I can keep a decent visual history of reviving an almost lost gem.
