Gary's MK2 Jetta GLI Build List
Gary, a long-time employee and beloved member of our R&D staff, has a real soft spot for the MK2 chassis and you can tell with the way he lovingly restored his 1990 Jetta GLI. Restore may not do this build justice; this car was reborn from effectively a bare shell to the absolute beauty you see today. With a freshly rebuilt motor, a funny-looking turbo, and a chassis that left no part untouched, this car is ready to hit the streets as if it were fresh off the factory floor with a few very fun tweaks.
