Found these on the laptop

Boot has been all filled up properly and shaped properly also

yeaaa boooiiiiiii

some one that may be able to help, with your seat cupra rear disc conversion can you fit 13" wheels over them ?

I fitted wheels to it today, I can't remember if they were 13" or 14", will double check tomorrow and let you know mate.

o that will be cool, save me loads of bother, looks good with the rear discs to :)

I've got 14" on the rear, I'm sure 13's will clear with slight shredding to the caliper

Cheers mate, should have another update soon. Loads more had been done just been lazy to take pics!

Bit of an update, got most of the panels fitted on it now. just need to make sure everything still lines up and its ready to be prep'd for paint.

Hopefully i should have the car on my drive soon, then i can start working on it more!

Sun roof welding in, as the sunroof never came in this colour IIRC

You can see where i am going with the front end....

those wings look totally different, like they are from another car???

loved the look of Poundies when he had the indicators deleted....something I've yet to do, this looks like it could be good!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers mate!

The original wings have been used, we split the glass off the indicator and made a metal template from that and welded it in.

I've got the sleepy eye bonnet to be welded on.

I know i'm pretty much talking to myself :( BUT... i've order'd some paint. so we shall have some colour soon

Pics once i get first few panels sprayed up!

dont be disheartened by the lack of replys, people just tend to wait for people to put up completed projects!! the work looks great so far and really looking forward to seeing how this comes together.

also mate, what did you use to smooth your filler cap??

Haha yeah your right I tend to do that all the time!

Cheers for the kind words Sean, the petrol cap was quite simple, just remove the raised notch on your one and make a triangled shaped bit of plastic and plastic weld it in, then just get the shape with sand paper. Skim it with filler, flat it, then just prime and paint.

This is only a temp thing so don't worry.

So the car don't rust over winter. Colour change and major bits like engine, interior and paint will be done next summer.

Yeah as he said, next summer I should have the car looking a lot different.

Might be selling her once the paint is done :(

I'm BREAKING THE CAR PEEPS! Everything is available. There will be a listing up soon for all the parts.

It's a sad day for me :'(

whats happened??? =(

whats happened??? =(

Cars costing me too much, and with out a stable job it's becoming really hard for me.

thought it was nearly done now??? seems a shame to stop work on the car just cause of lack of finances right now, just get it to a base standard and then drive it about for a bit, that always help get the love back
