Shes back!
Well almost 2 years later, I've bought her back! Took some time to find and I have had to empty my wallet to get it to a good standard again! I will properly update soon.

Well,
The front bumper aero add on was smashed, so he had screwed a black cupra replica bumper over the top as a double skin to pass the MOT.
The brakes were all badly worn.
Tyres barely legal.
Scrape down passenger wing and door.
Scrape on drivers rear corner.
Exhaust hanging down.
Gearbox mount worn.
Dent on A pillar external.
Chips in windscreen.
Worn hand brake cover.
Carpet ruined from not being cleaned...ever?? (Stained and chewing gum stuck in).
Oil top up cap leaking oil.
oh and I snapped 3/4 gear selector fork, days after getting her back.
Also the paddle clutch was removed? standard put back in...silly???!
On the good side, all electrical fault have been fixed (dash cluster, interior light, locks, tail lights)
New coilovers fitted also (JOM).
I've had the gearbox rebuilt with forged selector forks/rods and new bearings.
Pre-facelift FR matching colour bumper fitted and cut to fit FMIC.
New brakes all round.
Exhaust raised and fitted nicely.
Coilovers lowered.
New gearbox plug.
New oil cap and seal.
Good clean outside and inside.
Removed the worst of the scrapes with some "scratch x"
General tidy up and fixed "little" issues.
Next on the list is a full service.
New Intercooler kit and pipework, so I can fit a facelift Aero bumper.
GTB turbo and injectors (going for big power)
Full paint job and get her looking new!
Lots more to come!

Wow, one good owner last then...
Sounds like you've clean it up a lot! How many gearboxes you had now?

Yeah, well the last owner was OK, it was the guy before him...the guy I sold the car to.....
Its the original gearbox, but the 4th Rebuild and wont be the last, I'm happy that it wont fall apart again, but I will be getting an LSD soon
Hey everyone, if anyone knows or is selling a MK4 Cupra, let me know right away, I'm after one! Thanks!

Cheers guys, already fitted LED plate lights.
I went to look at the air filter intake size and found someone had tried to fit a bailey dump valve and fitted it to the intake the wrong way around haha. Spools up a bit more now and flies
Got HIDs for dipped and fogs on the way. LEDs to convert the entire car. Pressed plates. Wind deflectors. Induction kit.
My other half has got me a steering wheel and boss kit.
Its booked in to get headlights, fogs, tailights and reflectors tinted also, along with a full service and all fluids to be changed Monday
Tomorrow I'm changing the stereo and speakers too
Won't be long till she's staged 2.
I'm thinking about mid/high end coilovers but have no idea what's best to go for, looking to spend £500-£700, any ideas?
