DPJ's Silver Leon Cupra GT - no more.

[jamiebennett81]

I think i'd almost rather have let it go for less than it was worth as a complete car than have to do this

Hence what I did with mine, could not bare to gut it! Like ripping the heart out!

Sad sight Dave indeed

"gone but not forgotten" is the way I like to think of it

 

[beezertart]

but then again it would kill me to see someone driving her but that's a female attachment to my cars! happened with my golf was gutted when she went to a new owner,overjoyed that everything packed up a week later

 

[Damoegan]

And I didn't even get to drive it either

 

[DPJ]

And I didn't even get to drive it either

You know, I was going to ask you down to do that - but in the end, I never had that one last drive either...... I just couldn't.

You know it sounded like it was blowing exhaust somewhere for a few minutes until it warmed up, been doing it for at least a year? I've found out why......

 

[Damoegan]

Cracked exhaust mani?

I should of had a drive the last time I was over mate

 

[DPJ]

Cracked exhaust mani?

I think I'll take it off the sales list.....

 

[Damoegan]

Thats a nice crack.....

Mine has come loose again

I've now got some high tensile (10.9) bolts and some Nordlok washers for when I get some spair time...

 

[DPJ]

Stick with the stainless bolts. 10.9 will mean nothing after a bit of heat.........

 

[DPJ]

For those that remember all the pain of trying to get a tip to the turbo compressor with it touching the gearbox - you'll appreciate the 'step' I had to get it down from this pic....

 

[DPJ]

Now it's looking sad.....

 

[m0rk]

Is that accessible for a hi-ab to come & pick up from there dave?

Surely be selling on the shell as well?

 

[Mylo]

or let big Stu turn it into one of his toys with an angle grinder

 

[DPJ]

I'll try - but I think it'll be destined for the scrapyard.

I'm currently puzzling over trying to extract the necessary wiring like OBD, TC switch, Lambda etc to go with the 1.8T dbw.

 

[Damoegan]

Just holler if you need a hand mate

 

[DPJ]

Must get some metal cutting blades for my big grinder.....

 

[dholdi]

Still some sellable items to come off yet Dave.

 

[Damoegan]

Must get some metal cutting blades for my big grinder.....

I might have some at work, Dave. I'll have a look

I need you to have a look at a couple of things for an opinion.
