ScottHmk4 - 1.2 Cupra replica (Now Sold)

[ScottHmk4]

ok insurance sorted. not cheap but owell, anyways the plans are as follows

brother said i need- 2 front wheel bearings
i need a seat cable as the passenger seat no longer folds
a new fuel sender unit
might need the exhaust welded up as i think its possibly blowing
and an MOT

all this should be done in the next month or 2 and then i think al get it up for sale mid october so long as insurance will insure me on either an FR tdi or pd130 which hopefully they will, thats unless i find another car that i fancy but who knows

 

[vroomtshh]

I can sort out your welding if you need it

 

[ScottHmk4]

ok so as the saying goes, "you fix one thing and something else comes up"

bought 2x front wheel bearings today and a seat cable for my tilting seat.

found out my front flexi pipe on my exhaust needs replaces

and still need a sender unit, well i say need i dont actually know if i need one but i think i will get a brand new one soon.

Just for the Ask how much have u spend on all those mods ??

found this when i picked my mate up for football on wednesday night

looks like im gonna need a bumper re-spray . think someones either bumped it with there car and drove off, or clipped it with a bike or trolley. managed to buff out the light scratches which caught the wing so should pull off just a bumper spray, might just get the back done at the same time, but it'll need to go on hold till i get back on my feet with money.

sorry to hear your troubles, some people are just so careless! you can let your bro know that i have my car booked in for monday and will hopefully get it sorted (yet again lol). got an mot too so wish me luck haha

 

[Aimez]

Maybe not deliberate but they still buggered off without leaving details, front bumper respray never a bad thing as they are battered the most out of all the paintwork.

true that, and the back bumper could be doing with a spray, its a disgrace looking.

me too, MOT due next friday so hopefully all should be ok.

absolute ******s!

dont think al be going back to simons, not soo keen on his work anymore tbh after his last job.

*******s, sorry to hear that about your car mate. Hope you get it sorted soon

will be on hold till after florida anyways and al have a look at the funds then.

tbh, i was not impressed with the job he made on mine, the towing eye cover has not been lacquered properly and i had an argument with him because i asked him to spray the whole bumper, came back to my car and one half bumper was stone chipped and the other half not! I told him he was not getting paid untill he did the rest of the bumper and after a while he reluctantly agreed to do the other half. Although, this was not very good either, you can see where he has'nt blended the the paint properly on the lower lip of the bumper. My papa always takes his car to the same place and could'nt recommend it enough, think its called John Mcaleese Body Shop in Troon, although it is quite pricey

Ha ha you being pernickety like me lol, I admit I am a nightmare when it comes to the workmanship of anything, scrutinise every inch!

 

[ScottHmk4]
