Car: a project jetta in a state of (dis)repair
Default going for #5...

time for a new project, been itching for another beetle for about a year or so now. not sure the route i want to go with this project (though i can tell you it's gonna be out there), but i've had the urge to test out certain things on a beetle that a jetta or golf couldn't do well.

let's play "help justin build a nb" with his aftermarket and oem parts stash...

motors:

2x vr6 swap
1x 2.5 swap
5x 2.0 swap
3x 2.0 head

transmissions:

1x rally 02m
1x diesel 02m
2x vr6 02j (1 has bad case)
3x 02j case for 4cyl
misc. 02j gears, shafts, and final drives

suspension:

1x mason-tech airbag setup
1x vmaxx coils
2x h&r springs (though i think one is for jwagen only or oe sport)
3x bilstein hd sets (in various states of blown-up-ness)

seats:

1x sport leather rear (tan)
1x gti square bolsters (tan)
1x dycc seat set
1x cgcc seat set

interior:

1x 06-10 black interior setup
1x cgcc interior panels

exterior:

1x oem ts bumper set
1x votex bumper set
1x ats sides
1x abd cup front
1x ats rear
1x "THE" spoiler (cybergreen)

exhausts:

1x gti 2.5" magnaflow, single exit
2x techtonics 2.5" (1 borla, 1 can)

go-fast goodies (by motor)

2.0:

1x everything (no joke, maybe even doubles)

2.5:

1x ferrea valvetrain
1x rtm one-off turbo kit

vr6:

1x rtm vr6 turbo kit
1x schrick cam set

lighting:

2x red/clears
1x set of clear corners
3x oem hid's (1 joey'd red, 1 oem, 1 joey'd black)
too many hid ballasts and bulbs

as you can see, i've been hoarding parts for a rainy day. some may go for sale, others will not. however, i'd like to hear some input on how others would assemble the parts together.

Please define "The" spoiler

It's so open. It could be any spoiler. One might assume it is one of the hard to find ones like came off my car that is in demand lately

Pics?

that stash of parts is what happens when you're buying a wrecked mk4 every week for 3 months.

i have way more stuff, that's just beetle goodies.

you can call it the frankenbeetle, because nothing is going to match right, lol. the vr6 swaps are cool, but that almost cliche, i vote the 2.5 with the rally tranny if possible.
