Jon Balch’s R32 Jetta Wagon ???
You read right! It takes a rare breed to take a perfectly working car and chop it up for a project. Jon Balch did exactly that. Jon took his MKIV Volkswagen Jetta Wagon and went to work striping her down to her shell. In store to replace all he took out… the vital workings of an 04 Volkswagen R32!
What makes this story so unique is that, Jon is no godly mechanic. Jon is a regular guy with a decent working mechanical knowledge. He doesn’t have years of experience as a mechanic, he hasn’t ripped apart vws and put them back together. Jon did one thing, that has commonly been the difference between success and failure on a project. He researched… and he did lots of it.
