1.4 Ibiza Write-Off to Slightly Different Cupra Build

[sirjimalot]

Hello,

Im back in the SEAT game again, not another cupra but by first SEAT and my first car. Ive done a huge circle and now im back where i started, and i feel better than ever.

Right so i was driving an Audi A2 for a few months after passing my test at 17, here it is:

Pimpin...

So then just before i was 18 i got my Ibiza 1.4 Chill and it was SLOOOWW,

There it is with my cupra bumper, Whats with the mirrors
O well i then got some rimage

Thats "Lowered" too ha.
Then i was involved in a "stunt" in a corsa.

Coilovers were next

Then came the fantasticy cool Compo MO's

Here she is in her prime..

Then a month before my 20th a bought my cupra. For some reason i dont have many pictures of the "build" at all. but i pretty much swapped everything i could from the silver one onto the cupra. but here it is

Then i had to sell it cause i couldnt afford to run it anymore
the day i sold it i bought this

Woo i know what your thinking, A-Team right haha. just to get me to work

Then i went out and bought a 93 Polo Gt Coupe.

Its now on bike carbs and is a little 1.3 Rocket ha

STRETCH

Right im getting sick of it now, its just one thing after another really

So searching the net as u do, and i found my old silver ibiza on a salvage site. been smashed into a bollard. i immediatly went nuts and decided i had to have it back asit was the best car i ever owned and should of never gotten rid of it.

So i bought it back, a month before im 21, october always seems to make me by new cars

Check it out

The beauty of it is i am an estimator and work in a maindealer bodyshop, so free repair :

Anyways i just thought i would let everyone know, and i will keep you all updated.

Nasty. The yellow peril looked nice.

 

[sirjimalot]

It really was, would do anythign to have the bloody thing back, but i will just do with my wanna be when i repair it, duno what to do about motor tho, i have an abf laying around which i was thinking about but maybe a bit too old skool

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Helped wire an ABF into a M1 Golf some time ago. Good little engine.

 

[sirjimalot]

[sirjimalot]

UPDATE::::

car is all repaired now, just needs a fit of finishing off and she will be going into paint this week some time!! BMW Stahl Grau!! (steel grey)

Hopefully will look tip top.

ive hi-builded the car 4 times now and attacked it with a foot long block so it should be pretty smooth

aerial socket has gone and the two vertical panel joints below the rear lights have gone, thats all, i just wanted to clean it up a smidgen, not sure what im doing with bumpers yet tho..

Here a few pics in primer

My new coilovers are coming, and i have a set of summer wheels now
All the glass is out too
