Post by: wodder42 on April 26, 2014, 09:21:01 am

Hi all...been lurking on here for a while but have now got myself a mk5 140tdi, full vwservice history, 1 owner and 76k on the clock...cam belts just been done too.

Nice base I think

That's what mine looked like a year and a half ago  :smiley:. Definitely a good base, and one of the best colours IMO

Looking at lowering, but its my daily and has to be useable...also ferries my baby about ( hence 5 doors).  So thinking lowering springs, good lows combined with comfort/good ride??? Any advise???

Also want GTI interior, wheel, gear knob etc....and of course a bit of a map lol= poverty

There's a B12 suspension going in the for sale section, would be perfect for what your looking for

Great start up car. And great plans also. I had a 140 GTTDi a while ago. See my signature for my build thread. So much you can mod on these cars. Enjoy!
