to answer some ?'s
the color is a 04 nissan truck color. ( canteen green D13) it has alot of gold and green pearl along with metalic. in the sun it looks very light almost goldish and in the shade its dark green.
The swap was fairly straight forward. i bought a totalled 98 jetta GLX with 65k miles and used everything from that car for the swap. ( engine, trans, wireing, brakes, gas tank, cluster, etc etc) While the motor was out i installed a new clutch and quaife LSD, along with new timing chain tensioners and all the other gaskets and tune up parts. removed the A/C completely, amd a ecu chip, intake system and exhaust.
Pulled the old 4 banger out, cleaned and stripped the engine bay and painted it while there was no motor. The motor swap itself went pretty easy and was done in my garage by myself and some freinds.
Then i collected parts and drove nonstop to south texas to get the car painted just 2 days after having the swap running. The car was completely stripped of all body panels, glass, interior, EVERYTHING. the car was painted inside and out. your not going to find any yellow anywhere.
Other mods done to car are stainless brake lines, 15 bbs wheels with Axenis tires, autotech hollow sway bars, and h and r ultra low coilovers
Jetta front end with smoked lights, and smooth topped euro bumpers
think thats about it.. so basically thats what i did all summer with the motor and body.
