doesnt look like i will be getting a new project just yet as my cousin has sold the car on ebay for half the price i was going to offer him. although he has said that if the buyer on ebay doesnt want or collect the car then i can have it for the price it sold for. just need to wait a week to find out 
After the slight clearance issue with getting my car on to the car ramps last month. I finally found a way to get the car on lol. This is what it was like before
Then used a bit of wood I found in the back garden
Still not high enough lol and I couldn't find anything else to raise the car unless I used the jack. But then I thought of using my dads car trailer ramps and cable tying them to the car maintenance ramps so I could get the car on the ramps easier. And it worked
I suppose it's one of the joys of having a lowered car lol. Maybe I should get air bag suspension lol. Gave me a lot of room to work as well

Nah, unfortunately before I got the chance to contact my cousin with my offer, he had sold it on eBay for less than I was going to give him. At the end of the day it's a good thing really coz I can now get my Ibiza back on track
I was doing an oil change coz I wasn't going to pay someone to do it when I have 25ltr of the oil and a filter was £4.99.

Dude can you not just get a boc/cupra? would save you a lot of hassle and time.
Insurance will be higher but think about how much extra the engine change will cost you etc?
Just a thought aswell when you come to sell people dont really like payin shed loads for a car with an engine swap, not trying to **** on your thread just a thought?

thats a big list you got there mate, what front splitter have you got on your front bumper?
thanks
even if i buy a boc/cupra it will not have the engine im after. my car is more of a running project than anything else thats the reason for the long list. and as strange as it may sound, im not actually planning on selling the car for a long time yet. imo the car with never be finished lol
it is indeed but like i have said above, the car is a running project, i have a lot of plans for the car and i WILL get them all done at some point lol. the front splitter is a leon cupra r splitter. i have heated it to get it to fit better
Oh yes, Steve is a boys name I forgot lol
I have spacers on order lad can't wait to get them on
And as for keeping the car for a long time yet, I plan keeping mine forever lol

Update
Well on Thursday I decided to take the green squares off the roof. And as of 3 minutes ago the job is finally completed lol. Getting the actual vinyl off was fine but then I was left with the sticky residue. I tried bug and tar remover, wd40 and then today I tried white spirit which was the best to get the stuff off. I have a few ideas for a full roof wrap but I'm keeping quiet on the actual design until it happens so its gone from this
To this
To this
And now this
I said that I have some ideas but what do other people think I could do with the roof? I asked a few people at work and some of the ideas were a massive sudoku, massive noughts and crosses or full green roof.
