Well i got the Golf rebuilt. My Dad and a good friend seriously saved me here... i sorted the head out and they put the engine back together, managed to get the car back on the road in 5 days!

Oh, it's now on the deck too. I love it now, so much fun!!!

As for the Lupo...







I got my splits! They are a set of BBS RM Splits, 15' by 6.5 and 8.5. I am in love hahaha!

More soon!

Have done quite a bit of work on the Lupo over the last week, mainly cleaning work...















Whole underside has been de-greased and cleaned up, bumpers have all been sent off for painting along with a few other bits, so it's all starting to cosmetically come together now

Meanwhile...

Bought a daily to make my life easier.



So it broke down yesterday in the middle of nowhere, but from the sound it made i knew what had just occurred. Basically listened to my wallet cry and around £400 get smashed up right in front of me...



Hell yeah. Tensioner bolt snapped off clean in the block. Oh and the water pump had let go.







Of the 16 valves 14 are destroyed. Sweet. So the money i got from the sale of my Turbines, rather than going on my splits will now be going on fixing this.. Gutted isn't the word.

Are you going to have the indicators in the lower grill where the fogs are, or something else?

Similar plan dude, basically i'm going to wire the indicators to the sidelamp circuit, then put the sidelamps in the lower fog valance. Nice and simple (i hope) indicators have to be a certain height over here too, due to UK laws if they are too low down i'll more than likely get done for it... Annoyingly

Yeah stocks are proper soft, have had a look into springs also, looks like they'll cost me about £100 for customs so not too bad!! Loving your Arosa tho dude!

Yeah, I can say that £100 are very worth it!
Thanks man, hope gonna looks good next year

[Deaky97]

Honestly, I don't think you could have made a better wheel choice! They are perfect for the car!

I must admit i do love them, just fancy a change now!! Glad you like them tho!

[Deaky97]

Thanks man, you save me!
Well I can understand, but I think the stock one are too soft, and when you cut them even more. I suggest you buy to short one, they are not too much expensive and I think you can save a lot compared to me, they came from England

Hahaha! Yeah man just a standard one will do!! Obviously you need shorted springs but if you already have some made you're sorted! I'' just going to cut my old ones and use them lol, can't scrap a set of AP springs lol

Man, you save my life, I didn't know that, I changed the rear spring with a custom ones, shorter but harder, but the struts it's too long!
But you need a standard strut or a strut from a coilovers set?

[DawsonLiri]

On Lupo's to go lower on the rear without doing a bodge, you can replace the struts with ones from a Corsa B, only reason for this is because they are shorter, but bolt straight in!

Maybe I didn't see, but why are you changing the rear struts?
