Red Wolf Home Page
This is my 1998 VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition
In The Beginning...
I Purchased it in the fall of 2000 and I immediately went to work on it. The 14" stock rims were out and on went a set of 17's. Then the sound system got a full overhall too. Check out the finished product in these pictures, to see the build up go here. This sound system has been removed from the car for weight reduction and trunk storage space (I'm a dad now) and is currently for sale to a good home. The new system is on Page 2 and the build up for that is on my website under current projects at www.sandlcustoms.com.
I began seriously modifying the Red Wolf in 2007 when the 135,000 miles required me to either extensively repair the car or get rid of it and pick up a new one. After weighing all the options, I decided that if this car were in excellent condition with more performance it would be my perfect car. So I started fixing all the normal stuff, upgrading wherever possible, and then I started finding some really good deals on parts; not parts I needed per say, but parts I wanted...
