Ok so I wanted my new battery here
But the pesky cross member was in the way.
Not to worry
Also took the opportunity to remove the sound deadening until my heat gun died
So now it fits perfectly
Tomorrow will see it wired up and the seat and extinguisher in.
And a few photos to show more of the metal I've been removing. Not much left to go now
Drilling spot welds is a killer. But it's getting ever closer to being caged

It'll be lovelier when it's finished, don't worry. It looks bad now because it's mid progress

I've been getting quite fed up of my Audi daily recently so I thought bout changing it. But I've got about a million things I'd rather spend money on at the minute so I decided I'll tart it up a wee bit.
Start with these
I think I'm going to fit B5 spring cups to drop the front 10-15mm as the front is higher than the back. And going to get a few bits painted to tidy it up

Much better
Spacers at the back now and bigger exhaust tips....
Exhaust yes, spacers not so much
Why is it cars are never happy
Done a few bits and pieces to the Clio this week, it's all good
The Audi got two new front wheel bearings and a set of b5 spring cups. While doing that, I noticed that I need a lower arm, I have a snapped pinch bolt and it looks like I need a cv joint.
Got the decat pipe fitted yesterday and got it mapped. The difference is unbelievable. About 3 hours after that, the exhaust y pipe decided to give up, so looks like I need a full system. That's another £600 or so.
Progress on the Ibiza has slowed down for the foreseeable future

Always the way though isn't it?? Get one bit fixed and something else decides its had enough and chucks in the towel!
Ibiza is looking good as a stripped out track car, wish I was still living a bit closer to KH at times...
