Hakster Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I will as quick as I can! Got some 20mm spacers coming for the rear, should sit pretty nicely.Also fitted a K&N airbox filter today, seems to have improved the responsiveness a little...Here's a pic from when me and the mrs went for a little road trip to a national trust location in Kent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakster Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Random purchase!Mk2 Golf Driver 1.6, 82,000 miles, bargain at just over £300!All looks in pretty good condition apart from the rear quarter window and battery are out.It's got no MOT, tax or insurance. Never been in this situation before so what do I go about getting first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Insurance > MOT > Tax.Can't argue for £300 mate. What's the plans with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakster Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Cool Thanks.Plans are to bring it to a pristine condition, maybe lower it a tad, keep it going for years to come, maybe sell it on once it's up to scratch...

Hakster Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Update time, KW V1 Inox coilovers are on, not too low at the moment, just testing the waters. Strange but the rear adjusters are not even all the way down but it's already quite low. Also got 20mm spacers on the rear.Pic of the two boys:Found a stowaway!See what I mean about the rears:Hopefully will clean it at some point and get some good pics up. Anyone wanna do a mini photoshoot? I'm useless at taking photo's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakster Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) A wheel update (not going on the Lupo), really slow progress with these unfortunately.Got some custom 1" dishes made up. Still need to paint the centres, polish up the 2" dishes and get the flat caps made up.Was gonna paint the centres red as they were going on the Lupo but I'm unsure what colour to do them now.

Hakster Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Held an event at my local park, I'm the treasurer...Changed to 15mm spacers on the rear as I was getting a little rubbing.Once I get my track rod sorted out I will lower it a bit more.

Hakster Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Found these bad boys on german ebay, genuine roof bars, will have to swap the seat badges for VW ones. Me and the mrs are always going places so these will come in very handy, will have to get a nice roof box now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad1992 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 i looove roof boxes, i want a huge one on my lupo lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakster Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I take way too many pictures of my car... Here's a few after a clean today.Still need to sort out the track rod when I eventually get the part and the front bumper could do with a spray, lots of chips on it. Wheels need a refurb too...
