The car it self starts and drives ok. 

Bits to sort out are as follows 

Brakes, the dipstick holder, the interior, the exhaust and various vacuum hoses.

Change of car

Nice. My step son has just bought one of those as a part ex from a dealer. Only realised when he got it home and had a good look over it that we found out it had a full milltek cat back system, uprated suspension, and when he took it to a garage to get something checked he wasn't sure about, they revealed it had been mapped as well! Got a bargain for once, considering the stack of history with it as well.

Nice buy mate, always liked the mk1 Leon's. Will look forward to seeing updates mate.

Wheels are to follow 

Those alloys are team dynamics pro race 2's although not the best looking wheels they are light on the plus side

Today's antics sorted out the rear brakes and upgraded to 256, and bled them (the amount of rubbish that came out of them) I also added a neuspeed rarb and started to put on ap coilovers. Also added the fox motorsport wheels IMG_0567.thumb.JPG.0d152d5890a7b761f94daf84033b8e9e.JPGIMG_0569.thumb.JPG.5d848842345598e891ecd7a7fda20606.JPGIMG_0570.thumb.JPG.714561be841b871c8d209f1da8e4930f.JPGIMG_0572.thumb.JPG.c4327aa8adbcd138fe4f3ae7880b27f8.JPG

After an other long break, of the red seat leon sat around, the abs pump died and the abs wires melted and the floor plan rusted through I decided to get rid and get a four shaded yellow Seat Leon.

The gf has name him Bee
