[h17och]

see how it goes from there

 

[h17och]

Wahoooo

got an ibiza cupra R turning up 2m !!!

wont be long till im driving this baby

 

[MIkey kc]

noway how much did that cost then?
is it red?

 

[h17och]

its a yellow one. got front damage.

coz its an 'R' tho i get red seatbelts...yay

 

[MIkey kc]

lol good stuff, u selling the bembos then?

 

[MIkey kc]

you got to buy a hole new cupra front end then?

 

[h17och]

as far as i can see (from pics) i need a bumper, d/s wing, bonnet and d/s light

im gonna buy a new cupra bumper £120 and second hand wing and bnnet which wont be much then just gota find a light

brembos will be up for sale along with the 16 super t's

 

[Damoegan]

Nice one hooch. Thing will start to move along nicely now.

 

[h17och]

not going to work 2m so hoping to get most of the cupra stripped. apart from engine as i dont have the crane at mo.........unless....i may lift the car off of the engine and subframe

may have the vario running this week end

 

[m0rk]

yeah, stick a pallet under the engine & drop it off & roll the car back... by far the quickest way on your own.

 

[h17och]

keep it on the subframe with arms etc?

 

[m0rk]

nah, leave them on the car - too much weight to move around.

plus you might want to keep the shell mobile?

 

[h17och]

i may just wait to get the crane back. then i can pull the engine out, push cupra back, push estate up to engine and drop straight in. and heres one i done earlya.

gonna chop up the shell and weight it in. cut it in like 6-8 bits i rekon never thought i would say that about a car that only 75 were made of

 

[m0rk]

getting the engine loom out will be your challenge though... biggest PITA ever when I took the 16v loom out

 

[h17och]

enigne loom is easy. got a big block connector that seperates it from the rest of the loom. but the rest of the loom will be fun

bet you cant wait to see it running again

 

[m0rk]

yeah, it'll be good to see it turn a wheel.

so frustrating to undo all the wiring into my ECU on a weekend - at least the 20VT loom was better designed then!

 

[h17och]

the only thing on an ibiza thats been thought about i think

 

[h17och]

just paid for the car. currently waiting for it to be delivered

 

[Molehill_Mike]

You crazy white boy!

Fair play

Will have to pop round and see both of the projects mate

Mike

 

[h17och]
