So i bought the Volf on 26th april 2011. It has served me well as garden furniture, but now i have grass to cut its time to broaden its horizons.

Its got a 1.4 abd, fecked water pump, needs timing belt done.
Was already sprayed Matt black, Coilovers, Vento front end, Came with no wheels.

So first things first, i whacked on my banded steels and took some photo's.

I originally had the Banded's under a B4 that i sold to sam (mercedeslimo's). Here's sam as i arrived after a "damsal in destress" type phone call.

Who'd have known if you forgot to tighten wheel bolts as instructed by me this'd happen? Lesson learnt eh sammy boy

So now for the plans.

Wheels colour change. ----- Solid white......Simple.
1fourty8 crew front and rear screen banner vinyl. (Team manfoot - "Its all about the 1fourty8")
15mm and 10mm hubcentric bolt on spacers.
Rear camber shims
Tinted wind deflectors

Do the timing belt/pulleys/water pump on the Abd.
Oil/filter, plugs/ coolant
Disc's / pads

Fit my new alarm with remote start and retro fit central locking.

Oh... and fit these bad boys..........

Complete with front and rear solid black doorcards.

Then it'll be on to the sounds...... Clarion bluetooth hands free headunit, Kicker 10" in ported box, 120w rms 6.5" comps and all the fiddlies to run it that currently live in the bottom of my wardrobe.

Have a deal done on a VR6 but need to build up a mass of uprated parts before i install so the above will be fitted/done then rip out the sub etc. Will need to band up some larger steelies to clear the bigger brakes but as the man said, all in time dear watson.
