tomarse

Ok thanks I will look into that. It is quite bumpy and I imagine I will get annoyed by it haha. I dont understand why im going to die but ok

Well after a week long hiatus the car is finally done. Last weekend was one of the worst i've had. Nothing went how it was supposed to but I guess thats how it is with cars. First of all the bottom strut bolts were completely seized and we had to grind them off. That was the friday night. The aftermath Then on saturday we tackled the tops. Which went the same way haha And we also had the cut the springs which i cant remember why we did but we did it. Finally had the fronts out! Then everything went into a deep depression. We attempted to put together the coilovers, which we did but wrong. We couldnt, yet again, get the suspension strut sleeve nut out of either strut so we used the top bolt to hold it together just to get an idea of the ride height. Stupidly I had wound the coilovers all the way down thinking it would be fine, it wasnt. The wheels were rubbing on the coilovers but at this point it was 11pm and we had been working on the car and going out getting parts since 10am so we just left it. This week we tackled the rears as we were waiting for the nuts for the fronts. This went alot smoother and we managed to do it in an hour or two which made me a little less depressed. This is how it sat with the back done and the fronts still not complete. *Incase anyones wondering im running the rear springs with no adjusters* Yesterday I went to VW and picked up the nuts or atleast I thought i was. The parts guy only ordered 1 nut which is both mine and his fault, I clearly said 2 but he obviously didnt hear it and I should have checked the order sheet to see if it was right. Anyway I managed to find a place not too far from me which had some in stock. Finally got back to the car and got the fronts done, adjusted and on! The car was finally done! We drove around for a few hours testing its limitations and it did pretty good. Obviously its very bouncy but we found it hilarious. I'll put some pics up in my next post and hopefully it wont be as long as this ha

Was thinking of refurbing them but I prefer the rough look tbh

Yup they came today. The wheels will be on by January I hope, no money for tyres ATM unfortunately.

Doing this build thread for myself and anyone interested. Heres the lupo, very dirty at the moment Got coilovers ready to fit today hopefully And finally some wheels! Baby fuchs, never seen these on a lupo before

I was looking at 165's just wanted clarification. Thanks Also you wouldn't know where to get the bottom strut bolts would you?

so many ways to answer this. I'd say have a look around on ebay. theres loads on there and youll quickly relaise what you like and what style to go for.

What would be a good size tire for 14x5 wheel? Something not to chunky preferably. Thanks
