coullstar 0 Posted April 9, 2009 Ive already started. Currently sitting on axle stands and trying to decide if i can get the alternator out without taking the bumper and radiator out, doesnt look promising. Need to check ABS rings on the back so rear disc etc are coming off. Painting new wheels and replacing the rear brakes on my Mk4. Hopefully all goes well, for a change.
