thanks wellsy!

logi, the bit by the gearstick?

Olly

Got the bar before, I guess you couldn't find the bolts for the links? It doesn't matter As I'll just buy some new ones, thanks.

they're 13mm nuts bud, i can dig you out some if you need them?

Olly

No worries, i'll try and dig some out i'll have some laying about. Any idea on how to get some plastic bushes in the links to replace the rubber ones?

powerflex do a full range of arb bushes and drop links iirc bud.

I've got some bonrath ones at home, jsut can't get them in, the plastic ones aren't as flexible as the rubber ones, so they're being a bastard to get in.

ah i see - cup of boiling water, drop the bushes in and give them a couple of mins to get nice and hot and plyable (sp) and pop them in.

Olly

Done them now had to cut them down abit but it's all dandy now :).

thanks wellsy!

Olly

indeedy!, i know you can get them from the caddy van i do believe.

arosa item should fit straight into 6n, after all it is a 6n dash, hand brake and gear lever.

i just bought lupo front and rear bumpers for £65 posted from scotland, should be here next week and it will save me smoothing mine.

the 16v lupo centre exhaust arrived today along with one bottom ball joint and my mount from built mark, i made up a decat pipe and mounted up the middle box. i'm just undecided what to do with the rest of the system now.

next to get is some 25 x 25mm box tubing to weld in so i can mount my buckets.

i'm not sure i'm going to make the 1k budget - the spec is growing well though!

was upto £626, then laid out £40 on an exhaust but i'm selling that tomorrow so i'll be back down to £626 now £65 on bumpers £691.

track rod ends paint and some sort of exhaust left with £309 left before i hit the 1k mark!

spec to date is;

'98 arosa

1.4 16v AFH lump

custom loom

egr removed

carbon cannister removed

stripped rear

new coilovers

custom rear shocks

14 x 6j steels with 195/45/14 rubbers

cobra monaco buckets

g40 steering wheel

badboy bonnet

new exhaust system with decat + custom

custom air intake + k&n filter

16v front hubs +brakes - new discs and pads

new genuine vw wheel bearings

16v subframe and arb

polo gti steering rack

new wishbones and bushes

new top mounts

new bottom ball joints

new track rod ends

lupo front and rear smooth bumpers

mk4 golf door handles

i think thats it for now - i suppose it's not bad for £691....
