  1. my mate popped over today in the arosa to quickly finish smoothing the front bumper and give it a coat of primer as he wants to take it to dubs in the park tomorrow. so i filled in the few low parts and pits and threw some primer on it - obvously far from finished but looks so much better in one colour.
  2. thanks amber / jamie, i'm going to try and get the new owner to join up and continue with the build.
  3. sold the arosa bud. bora's getting new wheels, 6 speed box and hybrid turbo amongst other things. Olly
  4. try adjusting the clutch cable first. Olly
  5. thanks Jowey bud, will get some pics of any more progress as and when the new owner sorts it. Olly
  6. haha, i saw you at ace cafe (EU mania) but by the time i finished chatting you'd disappeared, got a cheeky couple of pics of your car. the arosa went late last night so looks like the end of this thread. :-( thanks for all the kind words from all who have commented. Olly
  7. well i flatted as much as the filler in the bumper as i could but had to chuck it back together for the MOT, and it passed just sneaking through on the emissions (good job it got a thrashing on the way to burn it all off) took some quick pics when i got back just waiting to hear back from my mate to see if he still wants it now. Olly
  8. haha yea mate, i promised my mate he could have it today if it passes MOT, he's paying monthly too - since i said he can have it i've had loads of interest, always the way though just need it off the drive to be honest so i can strip the bora. will be sorry to see it go really, i think it'd make a good little car with some paint. Olly
  9. well got a spanking new 195/45/14 falken fitted up today fitted the pressed rear plate and replaced one of the number plate light bulbs and primed the grill also finished the plastic weld on the bumper and started to fill it but leaving it going off overnight and see if i have time to flat it tomorrow... Olly
  10. thanks bud, haven't done alot lately - been doing engine swaps on other cars. well it's due for MOT on wednesday, got a new tyre coming tomorrow so thought i'd tidy up the front bumper a bit. started the process of smoothing the bumper so roughed up the grooved area then set about sorting out the centre cut out to fill it in, after a bit of thoght i thought it best to make an ally brace dso i could shape the bumper to the correct curve heating and moulding the bumper as i went. spliced the flat part to bring it up then with the heat gun shaped the lip over the top of the brace then pop riveted it into place. than trial fitted it to see if it needed tweeking, it seemed fine so roughed it up and flattened it out a bit then offered it up on the car again it seemed close to where i want it so started plastic welding the cut outs in thats it for now, might do a bit more tomorrow. Olly
  11. LOL thanks for pointing out that i hadnt changed my profile gender ha ha. I am def a woman!

  12. thanks lupo_lover. :)

  13. haha i got bora on the brain now bud, going to EU mania tomorrow then i'll get the Bora on the drive during the week and pull the engine out. just need this gone to create some space and free up a bit of wong. Olly
  14. did a couple more little bits after work this week while it's still waiting for a buyer. finished off the drivers handle, prepped the rear bumper and managed to get the drivers side pretty much all primed and ready haha - i do like the grey though, i may even MOT in the next week or 2 so it's easier to sell. Olly
  15. yea same mount points, make sure you get the drivers side rubber mount too as they are different betwwen 8 + 16v. Olly
