scotts mk4 150
« on: 04 November 2013, 16:54 »
its been a long 2 years in the SEAT but now im back in a mk4  :grin:

its a 1.9 tdi 150 was a car that has been goin to the grage my bro works at for 6 years and looked after by him so I no the history of it, it came in with the (chocolate) cam problem his boss bought it off the woman fixed it then I decided to buy it of him, its done 179k  but you wouldn't think it to look at or drive.

wont be a big project just a few suttle mods.

things changed so far are rear wiper to aero style, a panel filter and hids.
