so I've been lurking around all the car forums for ages now so i thought it was about time to write something up about my car :)

so my 1.4 lupo got writted off and ended up as a cat D so i swapped it for my mk1 gti already with the ABF engine conversion, think it was intended to be a track car

i was using it as my daily over the full winter aswell

when i got it:

no carpets, no headliner... 2 front seats and a dashboard and that was pretty much it haha

got it all cleaned up as much as i could to find out it was a pretty solid shell with only minor surface rust.

then i got it in to be sprayed while constantly changing my mind about which direction to go in haha

nearly finished been prepped

as it came out of the bay (very hard to tell the colour in some pictures)

started rebuilding windows in etc, grill badged refurbed etc...

carpet in

picked these cheap to run around on for the time being

and on the car

the 'break your spine' coilovers arrived

fitting

removed the dash to find a nightmare of wires (picture after quite a bit of tidying up rewiring and cleaning)

some presents arrived in the post, chrome bumpers and porsche seats

only picture with bumpers on as it was too cold to stand outside and take photos over winter haha

things were quiet for a couple of months

already had added 1.5 degree camber to the back but it wasnt enough so i went for 3 degrees and 20mm spacers

didnt like this so much with the spacers so now running the 3 degrees without the spacers and looks much better and can go lower at the back... bonus

got bored of the seats and flogged them to buy this sweet interior that i am in love with

and how it is at the moment (minus the camber)

just got these which will hopefully be polished with cream centers soon!

so thats all so far, still a work in progress, love to hear any input

oh and just a cheeky last one peeping from behind my lupo

Olie :)

Yes

looks amazing, love the colour!

when i saw the debumpered pic i was thinking oh that soo needs chrome bumpers.... scroll down and oh it has chrome bumpers

keep up the good work

Looks sorted, wheels and colour work really well!
