Cupra things

[tonijov]

In hibernation with battery on charge most of the time.
Removed the window tint as it looked to be fading a bit. Not sure to re-tint or leave as is. If I do I'm thinking illegal 20% and even darker rear?
Been looking at this since forever with motorsport cables (left one):

Mounts from underneath so should let me keep the center console, I like the overkill reverse lever

Damn sexy but geez they are expensive. Wouldn't take much for a local machine shop to replicate if they had one to take measurements off.

Reverse lever looks like it came off a cheap mountain bike.

Hi guys
Just taken possession of this car making my way back to Tasmania....good car half intended it as donor car but I think it deserves some more life on the road it’s a good thing..needs new drivers seat a window regulator and the jom suspension has to go other than that she’s great
Really happy with it

Hey mate at this stage I want to make it comfortable...I have a set of mk2 gti eibach springs and shocks if I can’t find a good set up off a cupra I’ll put the fronts on and look for the rear only.

Most certainly will need a drivers seat as this one is sitting on a brick as something in the height mechanism has failed...still yet to investigate that.

I fixed the power windows yesterday which wasn’t as painful as I imagined

I dropped in to show Andrew robinson I thought he would like to see it. When we were admiring the engine he popped a vacuum hose back on and the heater seems to be working better now.

The heat shield or exhaust makes some noise while the car is cold but soon goes quiet that’s another thing to investigate other than these things the car is mint.

I am tempted to try and fit my bbs rs off my mk1 to have a look but I have feeling the brakes will likely hit they very high offset off jap car.

So shopping list as it stands

-Drivers seat (mint) would buy all seats if I have to
-suspension either whole or just rears

-mint roof channel seal and clips (assume this one might be harder to find)

Cheers for reply mate

Really chuffed with the car I feel it’s going to serve me well for some time

Remember rear suspension is from a 6n polo, so its not the same as the Mk2/3 rear strut.

Haven't checked here in a while not sure which car you got but I still own this one 😆
I've sorta gone a different direction with the car since my last posts will update soon 🤭
