Mr Moley Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Right so here come's the BIG update before early edition! 68 odd pictures in total!So all the way back to when those exhaust pipes were on the floor in my garage nice and polished to right now! Saturday night before early edition, lot's of ****ty photos i know, sorry about that. The car will have an awsome photoshoot shot soon once it's done by a mate of mine. Now onto the good stuff...Gave the car a clean one morning a few days ago, the paintwork is slowly getting there with this car, more time needed though!New steering wheel time!Old wheel out!!!New Dished suede wheel in with sprayed horn to match the wheels!Also had the dash sprayed like every other ****er on this forum ha!Then i won something on eBay i really shouldn't have :/Onto the motorway we go!!!Picked up these bad boys! Porshe 911 Boxster seats.Time for those exhaust pipes to get on after getting back from picking the seats up at 2am, and getting up at 8am for the exhaust!Had a little peak under the car at my subframe to check out the damage....LOWS.Et Voila.The car won't stop getting lower, springs are just compressing into nothing now!Mess in the garage was getting quite big now, bit's and bobs everywhere!Dining room has now become the upholstery room...Time for some new check straps after the worst creaking doors ive ever heard!What is this ****ty horrible stuff they spray in the doors?After some nifty G101 and a few brushes i was left with this:Old check strap read to be binned!New one in nice and tight!By this point i was getting warmed up...Exhaust has been blowing like my mother lately so i ordered some parts from lupoboz to fix the problem. I also got the check straps from boz aswell, cheers again mate!Car Up!New manifold ready to go on!Undo the bolts!

Mr Moley Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 New vs Old.New gasket in nice and snug!Now a MUCH needed oil change for the lupo! I havent changed the oil since ive had the car and ive done a few thousand miles since then and i doubt it's been changed much before i owned the thing! Time was getting on here at about 4pm so i only had around 3 hours left before popping down to the gym. I couldnt undo the folter by hand, even with marigolds on Got under the car but nothing, tried putting a screwdriver through it but it just ripped a bigger hole in the casing, was a flippin nightmare! Took me around 2 hours of frustration to get it out!Sump plug out and new oil well out! It had a thin skin ontop :/After massive difficulty with taking out the filter i took off the manifold to get at it properly with a huge metal bar...Which snapped clean in half....And again...Battered filter...FINALLY got it out with a MASSIVE bout of anger and strength..........and a pitchfork.Brand new one in all snug and only HAND TIGHT.

Mr Moley Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 New platinum oil ready to go in, theres something i like about pouring in brand new oil...All the tools used to get that lovely person oil filter out!!!I woke up friday morning to find this car on my drive! A Bora on AIR????!?!?!?!Was cleaning this car for a mate im meeting up in early edition, he went up this morning i think?Polished the heat sheild...Fitted new gear gaiter!Old one looking pretty ****:Now another big part of this build!

Mr Moley Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 A few from early edition:Lupo fitting in nicely:Woke up to a niggle in my mind, the door shuts. They were wet sanded with the car but i never got round to polishing them...So today this happened,Interior shot:3 stage polish on the wheels, first autosol with wire wool, then megs NXT polish with a pad then sealed with poorboys wheel sealent left to cure for 20 minutes.Also changed the lower exhaust gasket but the exhaust is still blowing. Gunna get a new flexi welded on and then wrap the manifold and exhaust!Also got a rather large package coming in the post on wednesday :/ Hmmmmmm........what could it possibly be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
