Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Grahams81-Leon 4wd, Big Turbo - Back in the saddle :-)
- Thread starter grahams81
- Start date
Oh i never realised they weren't Kevlar.... even I.E sell them as that. Apparently there over 300% stronger so that'll do for me
I knew you were selling them way back
And cheers, it's a slow project but it'll be great when it's done - i just need to stop altering the spec of everything and just build the thing !!!!
Darlo boy eh, i'm also from darlo originally (longfield school area) - moved to Newton Aycliffe about 10 years ago.
I've got quite a bit on at the moment with the new little un just arriving but i'll let you know when you can come round and kick the tyres
........ one thing r u any good with the spanners ??? 
I think you guys at INA should invest in a website with more than just a front page and items listed for sale like all of the other manufacturers /tuners - people may know which products are yours and when you made them then rather then correcting people on forums.....
Back onto the topic of the great car this project thread is about!

Cheers Guys....
Well thanks to Scott-O i've managed to spend more money than i really have at the moment
Really appreciate the heads up from you Scott, you've definitely bagged the first shotgun ride
I've put a deposit on some Ex works Seat Sport BTCC wheels, i was bit unsure as there only 17" but i thought for the low price there an absolute steal !
There 5x100 17" x 9" ET25
Apparently there light as a feather and are made to accommodate large brakes so happy days.
There suppose to be a grand each + 250 per tyre so there a steal at just under £500 for the 4.
They come with good condition slicks fitted, i'll be keeping them for track days
He's a piccy i've stole of the seller -
If they look too small once fitted i'll keep the for track days and get some 18's....i think they'll look great, very genuine look now.
Here's a picky that Matty on Vagcars posted a while back -

So jealous of the wheels, I'd be looking for something like that for my track days!
Great find.
Great find.
Cheers Mate
Cheers Joe, he might have another set if you seriously want them i can ask him if there still there.
Massive thanks Mate.... Hopefully gonna get back in the garage this weekend, just got back from Ireland from a week away grafting so don't want to push my luck...... yet
I saw these as well, looked farkin sweet but the pcd wasn't good for the mk2. I'm sure there were 3 sets available. Grey, silver and gold.
Graham your car is a beauty and I can't wait till its finished, its one of those rr that u can't not read. The whole thing is bloody awesome
Ps congrats to you and Mrs graham on the little one, u gotta be stoked!!

Great looking rims
Cheers, i'm not sure if there Magnesium or something special. I'll look into it when i get a bit of spare time.
Thanks bud, think they'll fit in with the theme quite nicely
Thanks for the kind comments mate, and yeh your right they were three sets, i was gonna get the gold ones but he text me today and said the grey ones had better tyres on and were generally in better nick so i'm going with the grey ones now
They should be here next weekend so i'll get the pics up asap.
And yeh mate still over the moon with my little fella, it's amazing how much he's grow / changed just in the week i've been away.
The missus let me in the garage for a couple of hours today because of good behaviour, and she says i can have a play tomorrow too
So i managed to make the passenger side front box mount, i just copied the drivers side and tacked it all together.
Tacked it into place and then bust out the chop saw to make the A-Pillar, after plenty of chopping and tacking i had it in place.
So tomorrows job is to make a front cross part between the top of the a-pilars and hopefully start making a cross brace for the roof section.
I'm gonna need to remove the rear cage and clean the paint / sealer off the mounts then weld the cage finally into position.
It's gonna take a lot of thinking about where to spilt it and make the final welds so i can access all the welding points in situ.
I'll hopefully update tomorrow with some better piccys and more progress.
So Long.

I just can't stop laughing... This is brilliant!! Everything we all want to do but have got the nerve to take on!
Have you got any pics of the wings? I really want to fit a set of fibreglass wings but can't ever find a decent pic of any fitted.

Cheers Matey, and there a couple of pics of the wings scattered through the thread. Best off searching for the user murderedLCR and check out his Readers ride thread, he's got them fitted and painted. His car looks mean...... hopefully mine will also
