Techie's new runabout

[coskev]

Coilovers look good,I like the bigger diameter springs

When are you taking the angry grinder to that ugly arse end?

[Tech1e]

There is nothing wrong with 'Loony's' junk, gives character.

I still think a DTM style spoiler is required..

What make we're the coilovers Ross?

[Tech1e]

They are VMaxx mate, very impressed with the quality.

Nothing right with it either tbh!!!

[Tech1e]

Seats all scrubbed up and installed, much much better.

[Paul007]

Cleaned up nicely.

[hutchysrs50]

Good stitching as well for the colour car, good choice.

I always like the rear having "proper" seats rather than a bench seat.

[Tech1e]

And the original rear seat really was a bench, not even 60/40 split.

This afternoons little task was sorting some shorter front arb drop links. I had some new Ford items in my box so decided to see if I could use them. Heavier duty ball joints than the usual Fabia ones is a bonus, plus they were free.

Obviously way to long so need t be shortened. So I cut them down and tapped the shaft to an M10 thread.

And both done

I've got some of these in the unit somewhere, just need to find them lol

Just need to join them back up and lock them together.

Few pics from today, as just about everything is done mechanically time for a clean up

Anymore plans for it Ross? I quite fancy a 1.4tfsi with dsg in a fab out of mk2vrs, even with the oil issues, one was on eBay for 2.5 with minor front end damage or r32 next

No plans as yet no. Although an ABF on TBs would be nice. I chuckled when I saw your rear diffuser as I had an almost identical one mocked up for my silver MPi. Would suit a saloon with a nice pipe up the middle of it lol

Haha great minds

[hutchysrs50]

Trevs is just a baby! :P

Saloon as well

[Tech1e]

I don't think there is much saloon left of it tbf. Lovely bit of kit though.

[Tech1e]

Little update, all ready for MOT.
