I suppose another 5mm could clear the bit that fouls. Only have 10mm spacers at the min.

Looking good mate getting there, did you get all the deletes coded out too with the deimmobilise ?

Na.. Just immobiliser turned off. I have vagcom anyway so will know what faults there are.

I'll get that done when i take it to get mapped on the rollers [emoji106]

Finally got round to the wiring today.. Sorted it out.

Then got it in the car..

All in and the main things plugged in. Still need to run some wires under the carpet in places and sort the rear out.

After help from Dan i got reid of the evap system and sorted out the fuel lines.

Tried starting, it only turns over and not firing. Hopefuly something simple, will have a proper look tomorrow after work.

Fault codes..

It bloody works!!!!!!!!

Somehow the ECU has fried itself in the change over. Fitted one from a very aggressively mapped octy vrs and it fired straight away.

Might have been damaged doing immobiliser, easy to do, good to see it runs

Spent the day messing around..

Scuttle pannel and wipers are back on.

Ibiza transfer tower is in and connected up.

Fitted ibiza exhaust hangers.

Tidied up some engine bay wiring.

Fitted new battery box and lid as mine had all smashed. Managed to snap a 40A strip fuse when tightening the nut back down.

New ECU will be here tomorrow..

Had a play with my brakes to get a good 2mn clearence between barrel and caliper. Then give then a quick coat of paint where ive grinded them.

Started to gut my cat.. What a ball ache. Wish i never started it [emoji23]

Tomorrow i will refit interior and hopefuly have a go at bleeding the brakes/clutch etc (not looking forward to refilling the system)

Spent the day sorting the interior out. Heater isn't wired up as the ibiza had climate and fabia has A/C and electronic heat adjustment. So need to find a manual fabia heater and then wire up fan. Not overly bothered at the moment.

Seats back in.

Just rear lights to wire in and bleed the brakes.

Rided all the VWs at the scrappy for useful spare parts.

ECU arrived, fired up straight away.

Sprayed a spare easher bottle and coolant cap black to see what they looked like. Dont think theyre too bad.

Tomorrow i WILL do the brakes[emoji23]

Getting there bud

Spacers arrived for front. Went with 15mm.

Had a good play on VAGCOM and sorted a few issues out..

Airbags have all been removed, the light flashes 7 times then goes out on the dash so should all be ok.

Just rear beam to swap over and fit the sensors to remove the last two lights [emoji5]️

Exhaust tomorrow then a test run. (If im fit as im going round York this afternoon)

I'm soooo excited for this build thread... It's come along way in such a short time. Well done man

Had a bit of a play today. Finished the de-cat. No pictured as i had to use an arc welder and it was so hard not to blow through. So looked aweful, but will do the job [emoji85]

Then fitted the middle section.. The rear has different hangers so it doesnt have a backbox, kinda side exit.

Replaced the dipstick tube as my old one snapped when putting engine in.

Did some plastic welding (soldering iron haha) to fill the hole from the SAI. Any guesses what i used as the blank?

Ran the car upto temperature for the first time too, gave it a few revs.. Jesus christ its loud.

Hopefully the vids work. Not revving much as the manifold gasket is leaking [emoji17]

 Hehe.

 

I'd probably end up annoyed at it as I tried to remain incognito... like my dam filter. Got a comment from a client that he heard me coming and I wasn't even doing anything daft... its just quite bassy on overrun from ~3k down.

Ill het a proper vid tonight [emoji23]

MEOW!  Roaarrrr! 

So i sorted the drivers headlight tonight.. What a ball ach, none if the pins wanted to come out. One snapped and another pulled out of the pin.

Sidelight..

Headlight..

Indicators..

Main beam was ok to start with.

Did notice the motors turned on and adjust fully, but now i have no adjustment on the headlight switch.

Also noticed the car was in limp mode.. Didnt bother plugging in though.
