Well... I think I have convinced myself I am buying yet another car... it's got a super nice body and interior... it's an 82 Jetta with a blown head. i have a complete good engine still in an 87 cabriolet parts car that I would like to swap over... but what else would I have to change? i could tell from the 2 seconds I looked at the car that the jetta had a different a/c compressor (don't know if it works... don't know if the cabriolet one works either... which is a better system and is everything else in the system the same other than the compressor?), the distributor, and a couple other things that i didn't get a close look at... also, the cabrillet has a 5spd and the jetta has an automatic... anything going to bolt up differently? I know on the aircooleds, the automatics had a slightly different engine.
I'm really getting (what I think is) a sweet deal on this jetta... but I need to be sure that I can swap the engine over... only thing the jetta is lacking is a sunroof!!! but man, this car is worth what I am paying for it in parts alone! thins thing is NICE!!!!
