Barn's Project....returning to a leon.

[cupra-barn]

I did think of polished but considering Im doing nearly 1500 miles a month in the LC I would be forever polishing.

I know what you mean lol

 

[cupra-barn]

It would appear that me spending Saturdays at home alone are not good, I spend!

I've just ordered my Forge SAI blanking plate Once again all for the big weekend!!

 

[Ronin225]

I have just seen your post in the badger 5 section
Looks like i may have just spent more of your money

Thats ok Tim you can buy it for me as a gift if you like

HAHA If you're gonna do something might as well do it right (If the funds allow)

 

[Ronin225]

I'm sure i could buy you one....... if you make my next mortgage payment
I suggested doing it as its all coming off and might as well do it all in one go

I don't mind doing that...In my dreams! lol

No; thank you. Like i said I'd rather do it all properly then i know its sound. Plus its you and Phill helping to fit so I dont want to piss either of you off lmao!

I got home from a very long day at work today to be greeted by a nice little package from Forge.

My SAI blanking plate has arrived. Another piece of my jigsaw ready to go into place!

Happy days

 

[Ronin225]

Happy days, did you end up getting the phenolic gasket too?

 

[cupra-barn]

Noooo...I'm afraid I can't justify £70 on the gasket when I have so much more I have to get!

Like a big turbo

 

[cupra-barn]

Like; FMIC, rear lower strut brace, front and rear anti roll bars, powerflex wishbone bushes, remap, LCR front bumper and skirts, LC facelift rear bumper. That's the immediate list. Hopefully 8 weeks.

Then goes wheels and brakes.

 

[Ronin225]

If you get me a spare set of wishbones and the bushes i can rebush them for you as i am on nights in 4 weeks time
Are you swapping to LCR hubs, etc so cast wishbones??

 

[cupra-barn]

Hadn't looked into it what's the advantage?

Not sure if I'll have it all in 4 weeks heads spinning at the mo trying to get everything together so I can do it.lol.

 

[Ronin225]

Give better geometry, phill and DPJ both did the conversion

 

[cupra-barn]

So improve the handling more?

What else would I need? just the hubs and wishbones? Or would I need to change other things too?

 

[Ronin225]

Hubs, wishbones, front ARB and drop links i think

 

[cupra-barn]

I'm attempting to colour code my bump strips today.

Wish me luck haha!

I'll get some pictures up later on.

 

[cupra-barn]

Well bump strips all done, and a very good job if I may say so myself.

Really happy with the finish.

Bumpstrips off.

Painted.

Result!

So guys what do you all think?

 

[Ronin225]

Looks good, but i want to know when the hell it was sunny in worcester today like the pics, did i miss something?

 

[cupra-barn]

Yeah you musta slept between 4.00pm and 4.01pm lmao!

The match is almost perfect I'm so happy with it
