Hi everyone thought i would get a build thread up, bought this 02 arosa sport, the owner had said the cambelt had gone but thats not the case,also the drivers wing mirrir is broke but there only problems (and it came with 3/4 of a tank lol, either way i got it for a bargain £300. It has the AUB 100bhp engine, all usual sport stuff i.e seats, exhaust fogs,leccy windows ect ect. Got it on saturday mid day but had to go to work at 4 so didnt have time to do anything after towing it back so took a couple of pics when i got it back, sunday i was working so couldnt do anything and now monday i have been working till 6 but as soon as i got home i started working on it till it got too dark ( only about 30 mins lol) anyway stripped some of the engine down, this will be slow progress as i can only work on it for about 5 hours a week and being on appremtiship wages aint liking my dub life!! anyway I've got the daily sloth of a 1.0 lupo for now, decided keeping it standard and focusing on this, plans are get engine running sweet, cant be assed with cams ect it will be fast enough for road use, get it on coilys and but undecied on wheels yet, oh and change the rear lights to cambridge ones!!, anyway the plan is to get it ready for UD13 anyway ill let some pics do the talking.

Started stripping engine down and literly every bolt was rounded off!!!

Anyway this is a pretty poor update but as said bolts were a shitter and i only had about 30 mins

All comments welcome good or bad :)

Looks good bro, The 2 dubs next to each other looks awsome!

Can't wait for next year

Cheers man :) yeah same UD, euro trip with you sounds good, can't wait till get this sorted! See you on Sunday

Right been working since 6 this morning finished at 4:30 and started on the engine again, turns out the timing belts shredded so I'm guessing valves are bent, but I'm gonna work on it tomoz, so a little update,

Shredded belt!!

and taking this to work tomoz so i can machine some timing holder tools in my break ( yes I'm not gonna pay the £30 vw want for them haha)

Keep updating it man :) Will be good!

right since the last update my dailys pedal box and gearbox went and i also had an indident where i had a blowout in the wet.. long story short I've got my daily all good and all the engine parts are bought for the arosa, currently putting it back together and tidying things up, ordered some AP coilovers for the arosa aswell,lupo rear lights, momo, full custom exhaust and lots of other cool goodies which i cant share and since no ones interested in my build thread (I'm not throwing toys out of pram) its fine obviously its not peoples cup of tea, I'm gonna leave one last update of the colour scheme I'm going for in the bay,also wheels are gonna be something special so saving for those! Anyway look out for it at shows in the 2013 show season and come say hi!

p.s yes block is white but looks shit under iphone/light quality its actually same colour as the mani

cheers bud :) and naa I've owned a lupo, i prefer the arosa front end doesnt look as girly lol, plus insurance is cheaper on an arosa and there meant to be a little lighter :p

looking good mate, love threads like this (engine wise) not sure on the paint job, just the colour scheme not the idea. but other wise mate, spot on. keep it up

Looks sick as, I can't wait for you to bring it up in April :p RaceeeeYO!
