FS 2002 VW JETTA TDI PROJECT

I'm putting my Jetta project up for sale. I'm at work doing this off of memory, so ill add more details when I get home.
The car is a 2002 Jetta sedan tdi with an alh. Automatic transmission. Red with black cloth interior. I bought it from a friend, few miles later the timing belt broke. The head was shipped off to Franks tdi to be repaired and I purchased his performance cam.
Here's what's included:
*The 2002 jetta with the original motor and automatic transmission (clean title)
*the never installed head and performance cam from franks tdi
*all new hardware to install the head
*a complete rebuilt 2003 alh motor (minus the turbo) with less than 20k on it.
* all the parts to convert the car to a 5 speed manual
*never installed orange koni struts and shocks
*timing belt kit. I'll get more details on this later, it was the more complete kit

I'm located in Union County Kentucky. I can help load everything.
Asking $3500.

Willing to seperate any of the parts?

What are you looking for?

Price on the head, and what did he do to it? Good old frank. I sent him a set of injectors and brand new nozzles, and he said the brand new nozzles were bad, and wanted to sell me his preferred ones. Got a bad impression from the dude. Possibly shocks and struts, but think i want to go with a better brand. Considering my options, but my shocks/struts are GONE on mine.

Aight. I'm going to give it a few days to see if I can sell the whole lot. If I don't get any interest I'll come up with prices and pics on everything. I'll give you first shot on head and struts.

Thank you, sounds good.

Bumping this up. I'd entertain a reasonable offer. If no interest by Thursday I will price everything individually. I can crate and ship.

Do you have any pictures?

I'll get some tonight. Anything in particular?

No just general condition would be nice to see. Dents, rust, etc.

Been kicking around the idea of selling my grand prix GTP and getting an older diesel jetta manual trans as a commuter car.

How many miles on the original?

The car with the original motor and original transmission in it has 188-190k on it. I can't remember off the top of my head, I know it hasn't broken 200k.

So when a timing belt breaks on these motors, is it catastrophic? What is the reason for having the other motor? Was the original one in the car trashed after the timing belt broke?

When the timing belt breaks is allows the valves to hit the piston. It at minimum wipes the head out, but if bad enough will bend connecting rods and damage pistons.

Sorry about the hold up, but it'll be this weekend before I can get pics or break down the prices. Work.

The head was damaged when the belt broke. I found the invoice from frank on what all was done to the head. I'll post I later. The short block and rotating assembly is fine. I was coasting down a hill when the belt broke. I used a dial indicator to checks he piston protrusion (I think that's the term) to tell what head gaskets I needed and if I had bent a rod. Everything checked out. The timing belt kits they make now a days are rated for 100k miles I believe.

As for the second motor, I had on my mind to make this car my go fast toy, but still wanted to be able to drive it, as I don't get a lot of time to play. So the plan was to build the spare motor, then just swap it in. It has actually has a little work done to it by the previous owner, I'll have to check. Off the top of my head I remember it being set up for a stage 3 cam and has apr head studs.

What has killed all of this for me is I have to drive a truck loaded with my tools everyday to work now 6 days a week, so I'd never be able to enjoy the car anyway. It's honestly a fun little car to drive (my friend owned it, I was always a DD)
