Yep that's exactly how much I tell people 5K-10K. Good Stuff as always!

[@COMotorsports]

Mine response is usually "How long is a piece of string?".

[@MysteryGarage]

Lol very true…

[@joeblack007]

The VR swap cars on FB Marketplace are usually the exact opposite of this car. Great job bro. Keep it up.

[@ecarasig]

YES! Great job Mystery! I can't get over how clean this coupe is, the job you did on the swap the bay looks like oem corrado slc. Super OEM+ build, put the Mystery stamp on this one its CLEAN!

[@MysteryGarage]

Amazing! Thank you for all the kind words and support! Appreciate it as always!! Thanks for watching!! Cheers!!

[@robminnich4630]

Why has nobody commented on this mans video yet? Love the stuff...keep it up!

[@MysteryGarage]

Hahahahaha 🙏 appreciate it so much!! Thanks for watching and all the support! Cheers

[@James_713]

VR6 will forever be my favorite motor, great job on the swap man!

[@thirdgeargrind8033]

Awesome to see it running! I'll be posting the video of the engine rebuild in a few weeks. The engine did get a mostly full rebuild. New rings, hone, rod bearings, bolts, fresh paint.

[@dundeedye]

lol...i found your rebuild by accident, and i recognized the garage at the end of it....mystery solved

[@chrisroop]

Your insight is great. I've never seen wipers work that well in an old VW.

[@rcflyer2000]

Good to see the build of this Mk2 Jetta VR6 is done, I will miss this car on channel. Thanks for taking us along for this build even though it was a customer's car instead one of your VW's. Thanks explaining parts and costs when it comes to changing engines a project car. l will be doing a different engine in a Mk1 Scirocco I bought recently not a VR6, going from a 1.6 8v to a modified 16v. Looking forward to the next project on this channel.

[@matthews7144]

Wow, looks and sounds amazing. The owner has a great ride there, and as usual great work!

[@sirrevalot2543]

Turned out awesome man!!! I miss my old VR.

[@toothferrin]

Good recap! I do like a good driving video cuz that it makes me want to feel that experience even more. Without it I would zero idea.

[@hujek111111]

love it. Awesome job Sir!

[@SolveFixBuild]

Agree on everything you said!! That engine is so iconic, pulls so well. 3rd gear pulls while merging in the freeway were my fave thing to do when I had one.

[@MysteryGarage]

Absolutely!! The best! Appreciate the support and thank so much for watching!! Cheers

[@saintjamesamos1185]

Love it!! Great build!!

[@RickGTI2019]

Your passion is unlimited. Great job, and great video. Thanks, RickGTI….. 🇺🇸🔧

[@juanbadbreedracinggarcia6608]

Another clean strong build💪🏼💯💯💯 the owner is gonna have a lot of fun with that Jetta 🏎💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

[@vrsickkkk]

Awesome job! I wish i had someone like you closer. Would love to do a 'refresh' of my vr6 swapped mk2

[@LithiuM230]

Can’t wait to pick it up later today!! You did an awesome job on it! 👌

[@Continental719]

I have a Mk2 GLI. I am looking to put a 3.2L with 02m 6sp transmission. How much does it cost to do a swap? Where did you get your motor rebuilt?

[@LithiuM230]

@@Continental719 it ended up costing me around 8k CAD, but I also put Corrado brakes, mk3 fuel tank and hydro clutch conversion in as well as rebuilding the engine.

[@Continental719]

@@LithiuM230 nice. I just recently purchased the Fabless VR 02M swap kit. I took the engine wire harness off the motor. I want to strip my motor down and send it to a machine shop to get rebuilt. I have to find 02M axles for the tranny

[@drumdelorean7341]

​@LithiuM230 8k! That sounds like a really good deal. That's inspiring me to do a project like this

[@EdgeOfPanic]

Doing a swap or serious upgrades never comes cheap if you want to do it correct and make it reliable, good video with realistic cost projection.👍 Done a swap&turbo conversion on my own car, didn't came cheap but it has been very reliable for 6 years and 30.000 Km now.

[@digitalparadigms]

Nice

[@rushdipaleker]

Hey bud, saw your post on the vr6 page on facebook about what leads to use...I'm using 8mm msd leads and dicktator 60-2 and it performs great.

[@ThePopcyclePete]

As an owner of 2 - Mk2 VR6s I can attest that they are a blast to drive. I think once you Add all the plumbing and turbo to a 1.8t, I don't think there's that much of a weight difference between it and a VR. And let's face it, not many cars have an exhaust note as nice a VR6. Great work R. What's next for the Mystery Garage!?!

[@rickydub6950]

I see its monsoon season where you are now too, 🙈 car sounds great and is the complete turn key package. You should be very proud of yourself man 😁 i have a 97 VR6 on the drive awaiting some welding, it may end up donating its innards to my 8v mk2 😂

[@weslier54]

I wish i could get you to put your hands on my 92 SLC :) keep up the work love your videos! OEM+ is the way i'm going with my Corrado :)

[@daveristic7895]

So I've been sitting here fairly certain I will be doing an ABA bottom end on my 86 Jetta 1.8....now seriously considering a VR

[@DMoney505]

Great build! Super clean! Yes I love the VR6, Got a MK3 GTI full bolt ons such a fun car to drive but the sound is amazing!! I’m gonna be swapping a VR6 into my MK2 GTI I’m looking for a complete donor car at the moment, A complete donor and proper motor mount swap kit should make things a bit easier. That fabless swap kit looks solid!

[@MysteryGarage]

SUCH A FUN CAR!!! That sounds awesome, look forward to hearing more, good luck on the hunt!! Appreciate the watch and all the support cheers!!

[@DMoney505]

@@MysteryGarage Yes I can’t wait!!! I appreciate the content!!!! Thanks for bringing us along on the journeys!

[@Formula1-Dave]

I'm loving the content all the way from South Africa. Been following every episode. I want to do a VR6 swap on my Audi A3 2.0tdi (2007 8P BKD model) any advice?

[@brucepeters5100]

Awesome build. I have never seen a 2 door mk2 jetta. Looks nice. From watching the driving video, does the front springs seem a bit soft?

[@fightrider187]

Great videos! I have seen your MK1 has the MSD ignition. Would you recommend it also for a n/a VR6 12V to upgrade to MSD ignition? Greetings from germany.

[@OisinTarrant]

Got some serious understeer there at @12:00 :)

[@welcomegreece]

NIce work!!! Could you please give me your knowlwdge where i can find the the upper rubber part seals of the right/left windows? Greetings from Greece-Tripoli

[@jimnewmann3386]

I really love your work and attention to detail! I would like to take on this project I own a 1985 mk2 gti and I recently found a donor 1998 Jetta GLS. Is this a good downer car? I would really appreciate your help and input.

[@Anthonyhancock71]

Sideways steering wheel. While driving straight. Fix that !! 🤣

[@KRAMPUS_G60_16V]

Awesome! Do maybe Jetta coupe and Golf MKII share the same headliner?

[@gulfy09]

No

[@diogenespaula2848]

Where are you located I have a mk2 vr6 running and driving I just wanted some things cleaned up

[@ShreKCs16DidJieL]

hi Ukraine 💪🏻

[@jeremyprestongutierrez7222]

i wish i can pay you to do this to my mk2 jetta :(

[@thabozwane3163]

man where are you???

[@Piston206]

Would you sell the 1.6 diesel turbo for my MK1 Rabbit pick up

[@MysteryGarage]

Sorry owner sold the package quite a while back now, basically the day I pulled it, it was taken away!! Appreciate it though! Good luck with your build and thanks for watching and all the support! Cheers

[@ericdrivesjettas]

Dont mk3 clusters say "total" on them till 299 999km then reset and the total goes away?

[@MysteryGarage]

Hahaha I have no idea, never owned a car or a cluster that far into its life, but it would make sense consider I can’t seem to fathom finding a mk3 cluster with only 28k total kms now in today’s day and age. So basically it would be a 328k cluster? I would have to agree but you probably know more than I do on that hahaha, I didn’t know that was a thing. Cheers! Thanks for watching and all the support!!

[@aygwm]

Yes

[@gulfy09]

They go back to zeros

[@josedelarosa6169]

Hey, buddy Dismiss a customer's car. How much are you charging? This guy cause. I am about to start a project like this for someone. But I don't know how much I should charge him
