VW Lupo 1.4 16v S from Portugal

Hi, I'm Cris and I live in Portugal.

Three weeks ago I bought this Lupo as my daily driver.

It has around 105 000 miles and it belonged the last two years to a lady.

On the first day I drove 100 miles without a problem till the key was stuck on the driver's door ( fixed).

And after two weeks the car stopped after appearing the oil light. ( I have done a basic maintenance oil(5w40) and filters). I believe the thinner oil helped💪🏻

It has oil and the coolant level is on the point.

So piston rings,connecting rod covers( google translated), O2 sensor, spark plugs, oil pump, new clutch cable and clutch.

Now I will begin my journey😅🤣

Waiting for the car parts to start the repair.

Unfortunately we started with the wrong foot.

So I am a car enthusiast for a few years, normally I like the small "old" cars that have some pedigree.

My main goal is to keep the car as original as possible.

The outside needs the 16v badge at the front grille and redone the back lettering (it's not straight)

The inside I need to fix my seat( it doesn't flip the seat forward 🤦🏼) HELP

New radio 

Upholester the steering wheel and side panels( original color)

So my English isn't the best at all, I hope you all understand it💪🏻

Beautiful car! What do you think of the 1.4 16v engine? Do you like how it pulls?

Do you want to install a sports exhaust on it in the future, or have you not thought about it yet? If you want to know how it sounds with an empty pipe,  exactly the same engine as yours (that's why I have one too) watch the next video I made. 

🤣🤣

My main goal is too keep it as clean as possible.

After driving it, it pulls good, I feel the steering is way to light for me (thinking of lowering it), I am not sure how much. 

Lettering off and I am searching for a cheap 16v badge for the front grille.

Does anyone know if you can adapt a 4 pin O2 sensor to the 6 pin one?!

O2 sensor fault is appearing but I ordered the wrong one🤣🤦🏼
