Here's my little Cupra.
Bought it from a shoddy back street garage in Swindon but engine was puka and gave it a thorough once over before buying.
Needless to say, I was aware it needed some tlc. Amongst other things it was filthy, needed new brakes all over, full service and cambelt.
I've had it a few weeks now and so far have done:
- cambelt and water pump
- all possible servicing bits
- changed a split breather hose
- deep clean interior including wet vac
- fit brembo discs and pads all round
- replaced all faulty or broken interior switches
- new cup holder
- new (budget for now) head unit
- fit my pioneer champion series sub and amp
- new plates
There's a fair bit to do still but I have a toddler so progress will be steady.
Plans:
- fit splitter
- further clean interior
- rocker cover gasket needs changing
- rims of 18" variety... tbc
- coilies - undecided on brand
- stainless exhaust system
- remap, obvs
- r bumpers, maybe
Not got loads of pictures yet as wasn't planning on a build thread, thought i was too old for that
