Phillc's Mk1 Cupra...

[filbro]

Oh and i am getting her re-spayed in the next month or so, so have been stocking up on seals and bits of trim. i am going for a full glass out, doors, bumpers, sills bonnet and tailgate off and all the door shuts being done aswell.. cant wait, then its the engines turn head and bottom end.

Hi Phil
Will you get her painted in time for inters???

 

[Phillc]

Yes sticking with yellow, although not sure if it will be done before inters.

@Red, the wheels are Mk6 R32

Tim, good plan although i need a fair few tools so would prefer to do it at home but your welcome to come round and we could do both rear beams at the same time.

No lottery win just been saving money and bits.

Sounds like a few expensive mods coming up Have you been down to Bill's yet to get it rollered?

 

[Skiller]

nice project

 

[Frozt]

you car looks awesome

 

[Phillc]

Have you been down to Bill's yet to get it rollered?

No not yet but i am going to take Bill up on his offer, just not had the time.

Thanks for the comments guy's

 

[Phillc]

Well i have just blown my respray money LOL, i have just orders the 330mm front disc kit from Bill and THESE from ECS Tuning, cant wait loads to do now planning to do some weekend after next. I could have got them from Awsome GTi but they would not give any discount so saved over £100 going direct inc vat and postage.

 

[Ronin225]

I thought we were going to try get a deal on the 308mm setup by getting a few sets, should have let me know

 

[cupra-barn]

Handbags at dawn!!

 

[Ronin225]

You managed to get it all for just over 350 and imported too?
I was going to have delivered to my uncle in US then repackaged to try and avoid import costs

 

[Phillc]

Sorry mate but i thought after all you have spent on the BT you wouldn't have wanted to go for the brakes. It all came to £460 + what ever the vat is when they come, still over £100 chaeper than Awsome, again sorry i didn't let you know but as i said i thought you would be spent after the BT.

 

[wayne lcr]

dont need paint phil when you got turbo and brakes lol.

 

[Phillc]

Well i have started the mass work load, i have fitted the new window seals front and rear, the rear ones are a bit of a PITA as you need to take the small window out as its part of the seal and the new one comes complete with it, this weekend i am hoping to do the front and rear discs and rear calipers, (If the rear discs turn up) front braided hoses (if they turn up) rear subframe bushes, Weitech coils, new wishbones with poly bushes fitted (If the rear polly's turn up) polly front anti roll bar bushes and the new LCR rack with Polly bush, new hand brake cables new solid subframe bushes from 034 motor sport interested in seeing if they do anything. So come on Awesome post me my stuff I also have yellow stuff pads front and rear to go with the new discs. Then when all thats done i am going to rebuild the bottom end then the head, then fit some meth, then find a bank to rob i have a burning oil issue not sure where its coming from, its either the valves or the rings its intermitant so not sure??

Tim and Barny you are welcome to come and watch (help) if you want.

 

[cupra-barn]

This weekend coming? I may be free Saturday so may pop over.

Going to Inters on Sunday. Goodies

 

[Phillc]

Yes this weekend, yeah i cant make inters its the wifes birthday on Sunday and having a BQ, got Monday of though to make up.

 

[Willie]

Good list, getting jealous of your car now

 

[Phillc]

Cheers Willie, yeah cant wait to get it all fitted, getting anoyed with people who put things on their web sites and then tell you its going to be weeks before you can have them after i have paid i wouldn't mind if they listed it as not in stock, at least i would know then.

 

[Willie]

Aye, that's not cool.
Live and learn

 

[cupra-barn]

Yeah that would p*ss me off too!

Doesn't look like the bloke is getting the red LCR

Back to the drawing board for me

 

[Ronin225]

I am keen on how seeing how the rear beam bushes are to change especially as you have older variants and my poly ones are gathering dust
Also these subframe bushes, mmmm, possibly more money gone
I will try to make it over but it wont be early nor if its raining as i have a detailer coming to properly clean my car (cheers barn) as its going on a stand at inters
May need to book a day to come over with some beer (and a jack) as i am getting loads of bits to fit i could do with some help with
