Cheers buddy boys <3 Been a while since I updated, and a lot has happened!
Here I go:
I ended up coming to a deal with a my good friend and member on here, Llyr, and ended up owning this beast:
After a little fettling, it now looks roughly like:
Then I've been busy trying to get the Bora ready for GTI international show & shine, had **** loads to do in 2 weeks, the list:
- Change subframe
- Remove ARB
- Dye/wrap the roof lining and pillars
- Clean new interior up
- Seats in
- Twindicate headlights
- Get the car to the bodyshop for spraying
- Respray the splitters and grills
- Get wheels sprayed
- Polish the rest of the dishes
- Rebuild the wheels
- Get adapters made up
- Get tyres on
- Get the wheels on and work on the stance
- Detail the car and correct the paint
- Detail the Ibiza too before Inters
The story so far:
Car was bought into the garage, jacked up, and subframe removed
Definitely needed changing haha! The one take off will be getting welded up and plated.
Picked up a new interior:
Front end was then stripped down and dropped off at the bodyshop
Then stripped the headlights down
And then made these, twindicated:
Unsure on which to go for though, joey'd or back to standard reflectors, thinking of going for the standard reflectors
Then wrapped the roof lining and other bits
Picked the car up from the bodyshop yesterday, going to start rebuilding it, then get the wheels rebuilt on Monday, get the tyres on and on the car, while detailing and correcting the paint!
And that's it for now!

Haven't updated this thread in ageeeeeeeeeeeeees.
Copy and pasted from another thread:
The week before Inters!
Picture heavy!
So, on Monday, picked my wheels up and started building
Started stripping my interior
Changed my handbrake because it was worn (Because drift car)
Leather door cards in
On Tuesday
Stripped my armrest and retrimmed in faux leather to match the seats
Resprayed my splitter
Finished building my wheels and started getting tyres fitted
On Wednesday
Sealed the headlights up, and started getting the front end back together and lined up
Started detailing
After it was clayed etc, had a closer look at the paint and the orange peel was really bugging me
So... I got the 1200/1500/2000/2500 out
Then on Thursday
Carried on flatting the rest of the car down
Looking a right mess, with 24 hours to go till I set off for Inters!
Before
After
Looking a lot better
Finished the polishing at around 6/7pm, and then my mate came round with the adapters all finished!
So straight on they went
Coilovers down and dropped the car. Wasn't sitting right, but was too tired so off to bed I went!
Then woke up bright and early on Friday, with about 8 hours till I set off for Inters.
So started playing around with the stance! Rears poked too much so had to do some more flaring Need to get the adapters milled down asap!!
Pics continued, the finished article
And a Subframe shot
Comments welcome

His car hadn't had any love or attention until last week. He got it back to how it should be and took it to players, killed it, standard.
When you say "Got it back to how it should be".. Do you mean he bumped it, or just didnt clean it?
Ahhh, I was thinking the worst there.. Is he in hibernation? Not heard from him for ages..
Looking good, Arun
Want to buy a ED30
Hahaha!! Are you selling up? I hope not..
