Hey all,
been on here for a while, but never got round to posting a build thread, so thought I may as well get it done today while Im off!
there really is a lot of these starting to appear on this forum, lol, this is a cut n paste of my thread from Briskoda:
Heres my little project, using this to keep track of my car and what Im doing with it, having had an Octavia Mk2 TDI Elegance previously which I had modified (I will have to repost it!)
I have a fairly good idea what to expect and what I would like from my VRS, and hope to document most of the goings on in my new cars life as I go along. Its always nice to have a record, and is something I regret not doing properly for my previous cars!
