Coilovers have been bought, will be picked up on monday when I get paid. £50 for a set of year old JOM's. And I have use of a workshop for any stripping/ cleaning needing done. Just waiting on Admiral coming back with an updated quote before I find out if I can fit them yet :D

Head lining will also be fitted again next week, I promise!!

And I'm considering a swap from standard rear and tinted lights

to fr/cupra rear with un-tinted fr/cupra rear lights

That will be before the new wheels but after the lowering, all just ideas for now :)

Don't mind at all. It's literally a bed cover cut and spray glued to the roof. Picture of when it was in at top of page 3:

Also added this, most of the race cars at work run panoramic mirrors so thought I's just have one. I'm lazy looking in my mirrors sometimes, but this is impossible to avoid at 17" long!

Mate... That is fricking huge!! Almost a foot and a half!! Where do you work :p

I work at Minimax Motorsport, a team in the Scottish Mini championship.


lol the roof looks cool! that mirror is huge...can you even get ur sun-visor down?

I hadn't thought of that! my sun visors have been out since the headlining came back off and ive just not bothered to re-fit either. Suppose I'll find out soon enough!

Not updated here in ages!! Anyway, the drft project is on hold until summer as my mate doesn't have the money and I'm really busy. Still attempting to get racing this year and launching my first business venture in early April.

The Ibiza has gone through a lot since I last posted so will start from the beginning and just run a few of pictures.

Main points however:
It is now low!!! Not as low as it is going, but fine for now.
Not as much money spent on it as I'd hoped but progressing slowly.
The comic book headlining is still out the car for the time being, 50/50 on whether to do it again for the summer show season.
Excited for the summer with the car, got big plans both through and as a product of my new venture. Watch this space. Anyway on with the pictures.
