#1: Project bus Author: Ross74H, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Sat Nov 28, 2015 11:38 am ---- Right, after thinking about it for a while I have decided that I might as well make a project thread for my not-so-little SW.
Brought it back in January 2014 after my old Polo Estate decided to spit its toys out of the pram and at the time I was working in Cambridge so I went for a HDi.
So far nothing major has happened to it bar me replacing the god-awful el-cheapo Alba stereo with a Sony h/u and spraying the Pug lion with a basecoat black plus having it given a service and the rear wheel bearings replacing a they were rumbling.
It has a "few" issues with it that I am working on sorting as and when I get around to them (so far, keyfob has been replaced after falling apart which leaves the shonky paintwork, failing rear wheels and the cars seemingly random decision that its actually a ricermobile in disguise).
I have a universal intercooler kit that I am still trying to figure out how to fit, despite having had it since February last year. I progress on things at a glacial rate so there might not be very rapid updates on this!

Will get some pictures up of it once its nice and clean. Considering "borrowing" the alloys off the other half's DS3 as well as I think they are nicer than the Sirocco's mine came with.

#5: Re: Project bus Author: Ross74H, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Mon Dec 07, 2015 1:14 pm ---- I was looking at getting a beam off a 2003 GTi 180, my car is a 53 plate so guessing they should be ok.
