baron silas greenback Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi I just wanted to introduce myself, got it the wrong way round with a question before intro but anyway.. I'm Danny and I've just got my first Lupo having hada couple of Polo Breadvans and a MK2F Fox coupe but I blew the engine on the coupe, went away from VW went round the houses and just recently got back to VW ownership with a 99 Lupo in fantasia green - lmao. I know the 1.0 is slow but believe it or not I've always fancied one of these in this colour too since they were launched! Somewhere or other I have an ancient Playstation 1 memory card with my maxed-out world-beater Lupo from Gran Turismo 2 on it - and of course its in fantasia green Since the last Polo I've been rattling about in an old Kia Rio for which I lost the enthusiasm rapidly, most recently when the passenger-side front wheel overtook me on the way back from the shops on Boxing Day... So its good to be be back in a VW - but it may be a bit before I get it properly back onto the road as it needs some fettling. First off was a trip to Belfast to get a replacement interior because the one it had was rank having been stood awhile! Next up on the list is to fix a dead rev-counter, find a way of getting the wheels off without the key to the lock-nuts, change the brakes and I'll be golden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyx_o Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Welcome along. Also from Dublin. Don't see many Fantasia Green Lupos around here, although I'm certain I saw one recently enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron silas greenback Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hey man! Well this one came from the wexford (back in 99 anyway) and it has a bit of low-skill tinkering to be done so its good fun so far! Don't know anyone who can cut off the lock-nut on the wheels around town Benny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyx_o Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Last time I had to get it done, I took it to my local Fast Fit who took all for off for me. They just put an oversized socket on the lock nut and undone it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
