Amber_Nunny Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) So I have been extremely busy recently!Unfortunately Alva's engine was still running really rubbish so the head had to come back off - the damage ended up being 6 bent exhaust valves and 2 bent inlets!(And before anyone asks - the timing wasn't out! I believe the head work wasn't right!)She's now all back together again and actually running nearly okay!! So she's now running, insured MOT'd & taxed which meant that she was able to go back to paint - finally! So anyone who has me on FB or is on any of the other lupo pages will know that I've gone a bit lupo crazy recently...I purchased Liam's old open air to put back to standard as well as a 1.4e Lupo & 1.4 sport Arosa to break both!I definitely think I'm crazy!!So I currently have loadsssss of parts stored in my garage!!Anyway Alva is nearly there now, once she's back from paint there's just a few things to add and then she will be ready to hit some shows...hopefully making Edition! Extremely excited that after 2 years shes finally back on the road! Edited July 3, 2014 by Amber_Nunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I have a perfectly running 73k sport engine with a recent belt job (documented) spare if you fancy just taking the easy route ?asides from that if you want to enter the breaking cars game and you have enough monkeys to do it send me a pm and I'll teach you some tricks.

wackeldackel Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Bit off topic but i'm quite impressed with the look of those Stuggart rims, they've got a bit of BBS turbo fan about them. What are they like for quality?Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber_Nunny Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Cheers for all of the lovely comments! So last weekend was a bit of a fail...I spent 2 days cleaning Alva in prep for VW Festival, I even got up super early on Saturday morning and drove 80ish miles to go and collect my new rear bags but the air install didn't go quite to plan, a line caught on the exhaust and had a nice hole burnt into it So no VW Fetsival for Alva At least she was super clean!On the brighter side, new lines were ordered & I'm pretty glad to say she made it to The Big Meet today (in the never ending rain!)So a few (okay quite a lot of) photos:New airlinesLoving this fitment! And then some photos from the show today...Alva seemed to get a lot of attention and I was so happy to finally get her to a show after 2 years!It was amazing to catch up with people again, as well as meeting new faces - plus the teddy bear hat was back Sooooo excited for Edition this weekend!

Amber_Nunny Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 So this is a bit late but...Edition 38 was an amazing weekend - the first time I've even camped and it was really good fun!Warning...Millions of photos! So the most amazing part of the weekend was this...Coming 3rd in the lupo category in Show & Shine, which considering the competition is completely amazing! I'm overwhelmed with all of the amazing comments & edition has definitely fuelled me with loads of new ideas for Alva in 2015! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
