Buddy's Seat Leon Cupra aka bee

[buddy]

This my old but new to me toy/project.

Its a 2000 1.8t (with I believe 177 bhp) 

As the pictures show the car news a little clean up here and there. 

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.

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.

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

I hate them lol I have a set of fox motorsport ms006 to go on.

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 

[buddy]

It’s been a long time not much has been done due to personal reasons. The clutch has been change (just need to put the gear box back in) and the front shocks upgraded to coil-overs

[buddy]

Today I managed to get the gear box back only took 1hour (I was by myself as well) so not bad at all  

[Dark_Hero]

Great work. Will be like a different car when it gets back on the road. 

[buddy]

The car starts and drive very well. 

What’s next, I have to sort out the brake wear sensor and the ads sensors as some one in the past has cut the wires it stead of unplugging them :/ ones this is sorted I should be able to get an mot

[buddy]

I managed to get the abs wires sorted and the mot is booked for 6 of April

[Dark_Hero]

Getting it off the mud was erm fun... Haha

[buddy]

The car past it’s mot  only a couple of advisories worn front tyres and a very s#%%# exhaust which i know about. Not bad considering it was sat in a barn for 5 months and then sat in the garden for 3 months.

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.
