My Ibiza Mk2 16v from then to now

[orangemuffin]

cheers chaps....Yes, its all coming along nicely.

looking at the cage i really havnt got a clue how i am going to fix it in....any ideas ?

Alright mate, i took rear seats out then put it together inside the car first then took the seat belt bolts out from the b pillar and rebolted them through the two triangular sections at the top of the cage, I left it at that as seemed pretty solid. Kyle

 

[orangemuffin]

oh right.....

sounds easy enough then....although it never is when i am involved.

better bring my tools to the derby meet

Show Cage Pics

right then.......

things moving nicely now....

didnt have long to do it tonight but Show Cage is in !!!

Bottom on the rear seats are out just not the backs . Wanted to make sure i could do it first so the lot will be coming at later in the week.....Hope you like.

Dont think its sitting 100% right at the moment but will get there in the end.

 

[AlpineWhite]

Nice. Does it just sit on the platform that the bottom of the seats were on?

 

[orangemuffin]

errrr, kind off. At the moment the seat belt bolt is holding it in place. I removed 1 bracket to get the thing in so once Ill have everything out when i have move time then it will sit with the bottom brackets being bolted in place to.

under the seats there is a back circle type screw...from looking at the brackets it should line up with that.

Very impressive, any idea on how much a set of them wheels with tyres would cost?
And how much did everything in your bay set you back if you don't mind me asking?

Roll cage looking smart, loving the interior. Engine bay = sexy.
Keep up the good work, keep us all posted.

Loving the decal also, would really like one

You should be able to pick up a set of the ronal's off the bay for around £100....mine need a good refurb as the surface is cracking.

Engine bay wise the rocker cost me £40 off ebay and it was nice and local to. The inlet cost me £5 off a chap on here and then £30 to have it polished. Samco kit was another sc.net for sale section bargain at £40.....everything else is elbow grease and some good degreaser and a few sprays of back to black…..only cheap stuff though.

Im sure Ive said this before mate but I love your car. And the engine bay can see you have put the work in on it. Try some silicone spray to get the black plastic clean.

Should look good with the show cage in and white, if thats what colour its going.

Think Im going to colour code my mirror covers and door handles, I like those done. When you have a minute mate can you take a close up of your sideskirts for me mate. Mainly the top edge as I have a set to fit and need a close up picture with roughly where the top is.

Buy a bottle of exactly whats in there, best not to mix oil types.
