My mate asked me about this the other day, lol. I'll make sure i show him the progress. Looking good.

 

[CupraElliott]

Few little updates.

Subframe built up with Neuspeed ARB and front brace, new bushes through out.

Should be getting put back together in 2 weeks

 

[cupra.al]

looking good all them new bushes should make a nice difference,is that door the final colour?

 

[tarzan]

looks very good like the color you do a awesome job and can`t wait to see her finish

 

[artemis_1991]

nice clean subframe that elliott

 

[CupraElliott]

Yeah, see how long it stays that clean! I have wax oiled it but I never got the chance to shotblast it so it wasn't an A1 surface to paint on.

Yes the doors the final colour, although that's only one coat, white takes 2-4 coats to cover any darker colours underneath.

[beattie17]

[rich_cupra]

Looking forward to seeing this finished some hard work going in there! Love wheels, only seen them on golfs befor but, look good on any think

 

[tobi20v]

Crazy fine stuff! What dimensions are your new wheels?

Cheers

 

[Bowen]

this will look great!

 

[gazcuprablk]

top work m8 keep it up look forward to seeing this in the flesh at some future shows

 

[redcupraboy]

Truly gorgeous wheels, didnt know you could get them in 4X100 fitment though, are they copys or the real deal? And I genuinely mean no offence by that bud. You are going to have a lovely car for the summer bet you cant wait

 

[cus]

will this be ready for edition 38 in august??

 

[CupraElliott]

Lets hope so! I want it back on the road by next month, or at least all back together and ready for mapping.

New wheels are 17x7 and yes there reps, thats why there 4x100 fitment, I think the originals only come in 5x100 etc. 300 quid for the lot and you wouldn't tell whatsoever they were reps. Got some 195/40 Toyo PX4's coming to fit on, at least then I can get it back to a rolling shell.

All the panels were flattened and polished today. The wavyness on the rear quarters is the paint underneath the way it has been sanded, just something I will have to live with.

Looks stunning mate!!! What turbo set up you going for? and ideas on power?

 

[CupraElliott]

Probablys go KO3 hybrid now as job/wages isn't really funding the IHI build. I have a 78 MGB GT coupe that me and my dad are building, if I can sell that it's game on. I have the cash to finish it with ko3 hybrid power, just not IHI.....yet
