did a bit more as its a bank holiday weekend

yesterday i started a little project






and i had some help from the GF








Did one more coat on the front this morning then moved on the the rear,
i think its ok to support the rear like this




the rears were caked in years of dust








but nothing a dremel couldnt fix








then broke out my secret weapon, the GF






and had the rears done in no time






then noticed this pipe, couldn't think what it was at first, but now i think its the fuel overflow pipe from the drain port under the fuel flap






now i have to let them sit for 24 hours before i can drive the car

 

[RaviR50]

looks good mate. I wondered what that pipe was too...now I know haha

i think it is anyway, at first i was wondering what else had broken when i saw the pipe just hanging there.

As it was my birthday on Monday the gf got me this

A seat trolly coin

I also painted my battery cover i got from eBay

But I haven't put it in the car yet.

And today I started my big boot build to get rid of my not so stealth sub box.

 

[Dozer360]

This arrived today

Should help keep the engine bay cleaner for longer.

 

[Dozer360]

Started my 2nd attempt at a boot build a while ago now but its almost finished so i thought its time to update my RR

starts with a blank canvas


cut base wood to size


test the desired height


add some supporting wood and add some base material, it helps to have a sexy assistant




add some fiberglass matting and the wood for supporting the sub




add some resin and hardener




cut a hole for the connectors


add connectors and line the box with an old sheet to make it look snazzy then add the box lid




test fit sub






add a support ring for the top cover


add some feet to the support ring




test fit the top cover


stick the support ring to the top cover




FYI £19 gazebo is worth every penny


check it clears the sub




add some plasti dip


then add carpet to the top cover but don't take photos because you are covered in spray adhesive and install it in your boot.

 

[Dozer360]

To install a bad ass sub install in boot please follow these instructions


remove spare tyre, tools and all the crap that seems to accumulate in there


add sub box


add side plate


Add sub


fit amp and connect all wires as needed


insert top cover


have a cheeky test play of the LEDs






insert amp access panel


and finally insert sub cover disc


removal is reverse of installation

now to find a new sub without a big crack down it
(its not as rattly in person and the iPhone cant pick up the sound properly)

Just checked my insurance to make sure it won't go up by much if I put an exhaust on and woop woop, it's free to add it so I just ordered my new SSXVW052 cat back exhaust, the guys at awesome not only price matched they beat the price and it's delivery included all for £370. Now to find a place to fit it for me.

 

[Dozer360]

Oooohhhh I wonder what this could be

And my Gti international seatcupra.net show stand ticket arrived.

 

[CupraShaun]

Love that car, it's gorgeous

 

[Dozer360]

Love that car, it's gorgeous

woo wooh wooooohhhh..........
Thats almost as bad as when the gf says im "cute"

My car is badass (one word).



Thanks for the compliment tho

 

[Dozer360]

Yesterday I fitted my milltek non-resonated catback exhaust

Yes I painted the tips with the left over blue caliper paint, I'm starting a trend I know it.

Needs to somehow be adjusted a little bit

 

[RaviR50]

get a picture of the full arse end!

Loving the leon mate, looks asesome. I've got a yellow cupra and thinking of vinyl wrapping my bonnet matt black (dunno if it would look right) until I see this plastidip. Never seen it before. Just wondered how easy or hard is it to do and if theres loads of prepping to be done (never spayed before) looks like you've done a top job!

 

[litcan91]

Loving the sub build! looks cool

i just cleaned it, dried it then sprayed it, pics are on the last page, its easy to do, it just takes time between coats.

Loving the sub build! looks cool

thanks, its got a new sub in it now but its a bit to loud and rattles now so its on my list of things to sort this weekend

 

[nathan_20vt]

Yea I see your pics that's what give me the idea. Did you use any primer atall or just straight onto metal? I've never sprayed anything before so I suppose it's a bonus being able to peel it off if it goes wrong. Is it easy to look after once done? Sorry for all the questions
