From Cat 'C' write off to road..(The journey of a Mk2) ..The end .

[kineticz]

Excellent work

My Leon 1.8t Sport was a Cat C, and I myself am in the process of repairing it. It had a offside (drivers) corner collision which bent the wheel inwards slightly. Had a new wishbone, tie rod end, tracking rod fitted so far. I've also bought a new 19" RS4 alloy to replace the wheel that was on there as it was mashed badly. The wheel still sits slightly inwards so going to collect a new hub tomorrow and get it fitted The front bumper had big cuts in it but I've managed to remove it, filler the gaps, smoothed it off, and going to spray it soon. The panel was also bent but Ive managed to put it back into shape and it now looks spotless. The intercooler casing had been cracked so I've repaired it and it works great.

So remember that for when I post pictures and see if you can tell it's been damaged

Its a good feeling when you save one, isnt it

 

[CraigW]

I think Im going to have to try one to save. It sounds like fun and it would be good to see all your hard work and effort has been worth it at the end.

 

[Brummy]

it does make me smile at times when i hear /read how much others have bought theirs for , knowing how little mine actually cost.

 

[F2 Stu]

Amen to that!

 

[Brummy]

Amen to that!

[red1.4]

kinda forgot i had these just thought i would post my cam skills ..........

 

[Brummy]

Right,.. time to throw a couple of things into the pot again..
got these to go on before long ( when the road conditions pick up a bit )

Have done a few bits recently due to non-starting issues etc, changed leads, rotor etc.
desperately waiting for a decent spell of weather so i can wash/wax it give it a vac out etc..


found this piccy on my lappy tonight too.. I kinda like it as it reminds me of the old tractor stance from that angle..

Im waiting on exactly the same thing mate. I have a few things to do. Mainly wash it and try my new wax. Also give it a once over with a machine polisher.

 

[Brummy]

Ive been trying to suss out my rota this afternoon (work crazy patterns so never just get same days off continually) just so i can try to plan the shows etc.. I do know im off over the next three weekends , mainly due to our new rota system kicking in so I will be hopefully, weather permitting getting a few things done to the car ...

 

[Brummy]

....So today it began....

shoe shopping my hand was kinda forced by having as near as dammit slicks on the front (they were right on the depth indicators) so rather than just buy a new pair for up front, I thought what the hell and decided to get them put on the (new) rims..so off to the Local Wheelmania, and a pair of new shoes were purchased and a deal was struck to have the rears shifted from the 'Rils to the BBS's..
Et Viola...

also took it for a blast over with the jetwash at one of the local garages..

Liking that look

 

[red1.4]

im liking thoseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

but looks like it needs dropping abit more

time for coilies pops

need to find some where to photoshoot keep eyes peeled out on ya work days

 

[Brummy]

Kev, if I drop it anymore , there'll be no front end left on it

 

[suj]

hmmm i really like the look of that brummy, how much did you pick up them wheels for?

oh yeah my mk2 won't start at the moment, i think it's the leads nackered (when my radiator pipe came out) hopefully its nothing major

 

[Brummy]

Wheels were a decent price, and as im a regular customer up at the local wheel fitters I got a decent price on the tyres and fitting etc too

 

[air121005]

liking the look of that, good choice of rims

 

[Brummy]

just thought the 'Rils had served their time

 

[OllieL]

Hey Buddy like the rims. although thinking white centres
Think the black centres is making them look small in the pics.
Think Kev is talking sence, need a staggered set next - although buy a set with a decent et or you will end up dicking about for hours like me
Get some pics up from your day out playing
