Have you had a respray? ITS ON THE ROAD!!

[Daymo]

haha yeah should be as quicj if not quicker, because the bloke who i got the car off reckons it was 180bhp, i say bullshit. But we will see when its on the road!

i have tried the mk2 section, no response. All i know is that its plug and play with a vr6 into a mk2 gti. So i will just have to try. i mean worst comes to worst i have the interior loom from the mk2 so im sure i could come up with something!

I just want it all to be done right now hha

yeah i suppose theres no harm in trying, its not like you've lost any money and if it all goes tits up you could still sell the engine on im sure if you know anyone who's an auto electrician they could sort it for you good luck anyway, i hope there arent too many problems because its a really nice car

 

[sirjimalot]

yeah should be able to sort it out no bother, just i get sick of asking people on here and thhe only response i get is buy a cupra etc.

im sick of telling everyone i already had one, i dont think people realise i wanna do summit different!

rant over.

cheers mate

Are you colour coding the rub strips mate? Looking good! Can't wait to see it completly finished!

 

[sirjimalot]

yeh cause i have no recess on the front, so either same colour or a slightyl lighter grey dunno yet

 

[Riko]

Yeah I noticed the recess had gone, what have you used to do the filling? I'm wanting to do the same but not sure what to use...

 

[Daymo]

liking the progress, have you come into any problems fitting the engine yet or have you not started?? where abouts did you get the cupra headlights and bumper from?? im tryin to find a place that sells them brand new but i cant for the life of me find anything

keep the updates coming

I plastic welded another piece in and then i used a Poly based filler so it can flew without cracking.

Its a pain in the arse tbh

Havent started the motor yet, i need to get it MOT'd and VIC'd first before i do that. I already had the headlamps and bumper from the first time round! i needed one headlamp which i found on ebay in the end! But that bumper is the one that was on in the accident.

Only place is SEAT

 

[sirjimalot]

Hi guys,

Well im using the ibiza now, got it on the road on tuesday!

Still a few things to do but at least i can use it now!

Few pics below, let me know what you think,

I used collenite to protect it and make it uber shiny, shwweeeet.

Also im working on the 928's, should be on soon hopefully, there the wheels that everyone loves, no hates, no loves, no hates!! im not bothered what you think about them H8ers

 

[Riko]

Looks fantastic! I see you've even put Cupra rear windows in! Cupra spoiler would be a great touch to the rear. I personally like the 928,a so looking forward to them, is this coming to the national meet?

 

[CupraElliott]

Get the skirts on and get the caps for the wheels and that will be one of the nicest Ibizas on here.

 

[sirjimalot]

The centre caps are in the car but im not planning on running those wheels, i hate them black!!

Cupra spoiler is on there dude

 

[sirjimalot]

i have some from first time round but they are a bit worse for wear so gonna get some more!!

 

[lm_gauci]

Will look so much better on the 928's. Looks quality

 

[Daymo]

glad to see its back on the road, i love the colour of this car wish i lived closer, id of got you to spray mine for me cant wait to see it with the 928 wheels on!!

 

[cuprachrissy]

that is a seriously nice car mate.

 

[artemis_1991]

Wow im very very impressed. Good on you for doing somethind diffrent cheif!
I love the colour
I love the 928s
I love the car
Enough said. well done.

 

[sirjimalot]

Just a quickie,

Engine is in and got it all wired and running yesterday, made my own loom in the end,

928's are in the bin, back to standard at the minute, i will see what comes along when i can afford it,

Slight delay which is swapping the throttle pedal from FBW to a cable mechanism, that being i cant get the existing pedal out without dropping the complete column,

Will keep you all updated
