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 :)

Did you get your golf??
And what were you doing underneath the car?

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?

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

thats a big list you got there mate, what front splitter have you got on your front bumper?

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 :D lol

It is indeed lol. I suppose I could change the name to Stevie lol. What size spacers are you getting? And where did you get them from? I want to be the only owner the car has had lol

Update :D

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
56012a86-c7a8-c19a.jpg


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.
