Little update, spacers fitted and wound her down a touch.

And some pasty details

Looks well Ross

Nice. Are the Pasty badges in the same colour all round or in the colour of the inside for each wheel??

[Tech1e]

They are all yellow, didn't want to given Cliff a nervous breakdown trying to sort that lot out.

Fair enough.

Still looking good though. Wasn't sure on the alloys at first but the more i've seen them, the more they've grown on me.

Love the wheels and the front end camber too! Looks individual and for its age, a really clean car. Keep it up Ross!

[Titanium_Man]

This is awesom, great idea!

Does look nice and tidy and do really like the wheels, great work too!

lol, fancy giving my 6KV a clean?

*yes I like being a pic whore!

How come pretty much everything you do seems to always end up a minter? you have some serious skill on your side I think!

[Dark_Hero]

What a car! looks stunning. love the colour wheels and valve caps.

You could start a cleaning business with your skills :-)

Well Friday last week the inevitable happened and the pedal box snapped. Balls, didn't have tIme to get one sorted before Inters so Cheryl's Arosa got the full detail treatment intended for the Ibiza, came up well bless it.

Had a great day out but as I've been at Skoda all week the poor Ibiza has just been sat motionless. However I was in at work today, the pedal box I ordered during the week had turned up so I thought I'd at least have a look tonight, maybe finish tomorrow as they can be a right ****** when they want to be. Had the forethought during the week to order a set of special tools for the job.

14" long cold chisel, the steering column has to come out and that's held in by shear bolts which can be an arse as getting in there can be tricky, not so with this bad boy. Couple of whumps and voila

Obi was helping

Everything went perfectly and got done in just under two hours. No need to flap around after work tomorrow now which is good news.

[PastyBoy]

In the nicest possible way Ross i'm glad it happened to you as your a millions times more capable to deal with it than i ever would have been!

Bummer that it meant it missed Inters though.

[Tech1e]

I'm just glad it gave up before we set off to Inters. Lol

Two hours is pretty impressive for an awkward job, but it can be done without taking the column out. When I did mine I didn't have the foresight to get a 14" cold chisel, so I just detached the column at the bottom joint and that gave enough clearance to get the pedal box around it, once I had removed the plastic clutch cable guide. Did you reinforce the new pedal box before you put it in?

When mine went on my 6K Polo I just had it welded up in place.

Thinking about selling the Ibiza now, mulling over options.
