I have a lot of experience in sales and customer service, I will receive my bachelors degree in Dec, I want to start looking in January. I'd love to work at Bridger, as a manager or director, but I'm not too picky, just something that I could help support my family. and to keep my cars upgraded and have the money to have fun. I'm not picky.

I'm going to be selling this car within a few months actually.
You'll be able to see it when you are down for the YNP cruise as that's what I should be driving at that time.


I'd love to take that butchered Jetta off your hands but I'll have my hands full with g-wheels this summer.

Lol.
You wish man. But I'll start thinking about what I could possibly do with the butchered one.

***UPDATE***
So, I was having problems with lighting but I figured all of that out today. It was all strictly light bulbs!
Now I have turns, hazards, head lights, markers, and brakes now! (I think, I haven't had anyone check the brakes yet lol.)

I took it for a ride to see Brandon yesterday and we drove it around for a bit then when we stopped and shut it off ALL of the water gushed out the back of the block haha!

You guessed it, the freeze out plug went on a journey while it was parked this winter.

It's running awesome though! I'm gonna do some exhaust work this week after the new plug is in. Then it's cleaning and replacing a door card for the most part. Also I'm going to do a complete a/c delete.

Another thing I've got to work on is the radiator fan/switch.

Also I'm in need of a blank switch filler for the MK2 style dash as well.

I may/may not relay the headlights and re-ground them as well.

I've got some steelies all ready to be cleaned and painted in the shed for on it too!
Brand new P185/70TR-13 Kumho Solus KR21's are going on it as well.

So how much wouldf you sell the GLI for? What has been done to it as far as mods. I'm thinking i'll probably keep my wolfsburg (the butchered one) and bring it to Montana with me when I move there and either cut the back into some sort of four door Cabby, or wait and fix it when my Bug and GLI is done. But I'd accept ideas. I might trade it for parts for my GLI. I need four good rust free doors, and front and rear big bumpers, and all of the trim.

Looking forward to seeing your collection. I'm still planning on staying at your place if that's still Ok. i'll let you know when as it gets closer.

I'm actually looking to get around $1k for it.
I've still got quite a few things left to do though.
However, it is rust free!

No mods except new tires.

I'll keep thinking about your Wolfy!

Kevin has all four doors for a MK2, I have a white front big bumper but not a rear.

And Matt, anytime you need a place to stay in Bozeman you're welcome to stay here!
