2002 VW Lupo Cambridge - JDO

[Mehowski]

Right, that's it. I'm going to sharpen my pitch fork and go find the fucker...

p.s does this means we're gonna have to wait longer for front spacers?

Trust me it still hurts now....

Well, i'm actually going to be rebuilding the rims.... upping the front dish from 0.5 to 1.0, and dropping the rears from 2.5 to 2... Should get some nice fitment going on

[Deaky97]

Amist my smashed dish problem, my friend decided that it would be a good idea to throw his 10" splits on... needless to say they don't fit very well...





Only slightly illegal.



Ahh well, i'm kinda halfway through buying a 100bhp 16v lump conversion for this little shed... only thing it lacks is power

[Deaky97]

So, this weekend was Modnats. As per, a great fun weekend, made many new awesome mates, and had an absolute joke of a time with my mates.





Damn JDO was looking good for once!!



Pat took some decent shots too!



Morning of the last day, Ft. a very hungover and sunburnt me...

[Deaky97]

So JDO's now gone smooth....





Based off a render my friend made for me last year, you can see that JDO is nearly at the stage i'd always planned to get it too. Just need to get it on the deck and it'l be 99% done.



Very close to 100K's now too...

Hahaha cheers man! Where did you see me? In show or being a drunken mess?

My rims came for my GTI about 3 weeks ago, they are a set of Gotti cups. When i bought them they had been very crudely painted with hammerite, looked like someone had put the paint on with a spade tbh! They've since been stripped and blasted, and now my Dad has started refurbing them.



Can't wait till these are back to there former glory, they'll look awesome!

[Deaky97]

Made a little OEM change over the weekend...



Cleaned up the rear window with some 80's decals ripped straight from the XR-2 Fiesta...



And i'm now part of the Candy crew

Ayyyy thanks for picking up a large banner! pretty sure you got the last large white one

[DawsonLiri]

Love the font of the Banner!

So did you buy a 1.4 lump? Interesting, maybe I have some question for you...

Cheers man! And i have indeed, i still need to pick it up but it's a 1.4 16v 100bhp lump... will make this car a bit more interesting

You look after me don't you kid

So this weekend was Players Classic, drove down to Portsmouth on the friday night to stay over, so me Aaron and Kez went out to get some photo's... After getting into an abandoned building, then legging it from police after realising we were being watched we decided it owuld be best to go and get some photo's where we are actually allowed too lol...



HMS Victory.

Up and out the next morning by 6:30, got to Goodwood for about 7:30, plonked the cars down and went to enjoy the show. Got myself a tidy spot in the end!







By 4, the show was over, so seeing as it was still early and we didn't feel like sitting in traffic for 4 hours, we went down to the beach for 3 hours instead. What a way to end an awesome show.

[Deaky97]

Ok, so seeing as Photobucket are dicks and have decided to take away my 3rd party hosting unless i pay them i'm going to quickly remind everyone what i've done with little JDO, and to those who haven't seen it what it's all about.

Which is how it sits now. And i'm very sad to say, i'm now selling. I'm running it up until Edition 38, after that, i'll be breaking the little shed. Has been a very hard decision to make, but with the GTI of mine now becoming my main focus, i want to put time and money into that, as well as that, i'm also struggling to run 2 cars. One needs to go.

It's done me very well in this time though, 38,000 miles in it and still counting! Engine needs a top end rebuild as i've also dropped a valve on cylinder 2... But i'll have it all back in shaoe very soon.

It's going, but i'm not done with it yet....
