Picked the new car up yesterday to replace the Ibiza I had for four years, quick pic of the previous car :
New owner is Scott o from here so im sure he'll be along with a new progress thread for the ibiza
Travelled to Edinburgh to meet and swap cars and cash, R32 had came up from Northallerton so it had a fair journey yesterday.
Got it home and a blast with the snow foam and a hand wash and she came up fine and took a few pics. Private reg came off today
Standard spec apart from H&R rear spacers and the flapper mod.
First job this morning was to fit 4 new tyres. Rears were worn down to the blocks and one of the fronts was cracked all the way round on the sidewall so fitted 4 Toyo proxes for piece of mind
Then started the cleaning tonight, gave under the bonnet a good clean using Meguiars APC and then dressed with Auto Glym plastic and rubber. Came up really good, used to work well on the ibiza too and just needs a wipe down now and again. Also fitted my R8 oil cap
Current plans are to get LED sidelights fitted tomorrow and hopefully make a start in giving it a proper clean in the next week or so. Decontaminate, clay, glaze and wax hopefully
Future plans are to maybe get the wheels refurbished and a few minor bodywork marks touched up/resprayed. Might stretch to a milltek and air filter if I see any crop up for sale but not essential atm.
Also need to look into the fan fix as this one seems to have the symptoms. When looking at the radiator fans, which one is which? Only seems to be the left one which operates at full speed
