UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Ah well almost

Got some nice news

Yesterday I got a phonecall, with the question if I had some time this wednesday (today), I asked what for? The answer -->

Today I got a visit from a reporter and a photographer of the biggest Dutch newspaper, De Telegraaf. They wanted an interview and some pics of me and my car for the sunday edition, for an article about people and there way of finding happiness, and this week they were looking for somebody who find happiness in his/her car.

Well enough with the crappy explanation of what the article will be about, MY MK4 IS GETTING IN THE BEST SELLING NATIONAL NEWSPAPER!!!




f*ckin' sweet

@ Eddie: how 'bout them apples? Go buy yourself a Telegraaf this weekend m8, I gave the reporter the flyer for the Polo Club Holland meeting in Asten, hopefully he'll post it in the article too

Nice one mate!!! Doesnt your car currently have non-painted bumpers? You should stick your old ones back on for photo's. Get some pictures of the article up Well Done Again

I left the on-painted bumpers and grill etc. on, this since most of the interview was about me getting "satisfaction" (not in a sexual way though ) out of continuosly modding my car, so both the journalist and photographer found it nice to shoot some pics with those on, I also gave them some old pics on CD of how the mk 4 looked a while back, of which some will also be added to the article hopefully

Congratulations sir. How the hell did they find out about you though? Id install some security cameras man... they could be stalkers lol.

Seriously though well done Get some scans of the article up on here for all too see whn it is published!

Thanx m8, and about the M3-skirts, I already removed them last week also found them not fitting in the overall style, took them of and they are already sold too. Also took out the entire interior yesterday, just need to do some work on the doors, and take of the front bodyparts this weekend. Then taking the car on a car-ambulance to a friend of mine, take the engine out, and they the baby is going to the body shop for it's spray-over paintjob

really can't wait for this to happen!!!

Here some pics of the interior at the moment:





Also did some work on my new subwoofer:

JBL GTO 1202D in a sealed box:


I didn't trust the "quality" of the box, so took the sub out, and as I suspected, no fibrefill in the box, and some tiny little wires to connect it


I filled the edges of the box with a new layer of kit, and loosely stacked the box with fibrefill:


Put the sub back in, and hooked it up on 10qmm wires:


Also put some "cloth-tape" on the inner edge of the sub beofre mounting it back, to make sure all is air-sealed, all in the name of dB's and sound quality


Planning to strip the last parts of the mk4 tomorrow, setting my alarmclock early in the morning to begin the works

Continued the stripping of the mk4 today, just finished, almost all is off right now, except for the windows, engine, rear bumper, rearlights, some parts for locking the doros and some door-rubbers (to keep moisture out sine it's still standing outside in the open air)









Looks sad doesn't it seeing these pics really makes me wanna cry, it looks terrible right now, but I'm keeping myself together with the thought of the paintjob coming closer and closer

makes me wanna cry aswell ur car is the car that inspired me to do stuff to mine

thanx m8, that's a really big positive comment!


Took my lil' baby out to the doctor yesterday



There she will get her open-heart-surgery, takin' the engine out for the paintjob and the further moddin' of the engine


Also here is a scan of the article in the Dutch newspaper from last weekend




You probably can't read it, since it's Dutch, but it's my name and my mk4 on the pics, that's all that counts to me

(and yes, I had a long night before the day the picture was taken )

congrats

Good Stuff Mate!!!

Legend! Congratualtions sir .Having the cams put in while the engine is out then?

God i envy you lol.
