Hi People.

So I brought a Lupo GTI around a year ago as a run around while I was building my Mazda RX8 which I don't use as daily any ways.

Haven't had much luck with it over the last year head gasket Christmas, cambelt few months later and then crashed it about a month ago. :( I fixed the sump and was back on the road but rear engine mouth had broken and just isn't running right. 165k on the clock it was time for the conversion I have always wanted to do.

Plan is 1.8t conversion

full respray in new colour

bucket seats

roll cage

harnesses

So far but I know with my rx8 the list just kept getting bigger and bigger as I went on with new ideas etc.

Few picture of the car cleaned up about 2 months ago.

Last weekend started to strip the interior out of it. Did come apart nice and easy. Rear seats got a little tricky though.

And this weekend the engine and gear box where pulled out. Misses wanted to un bolt something lol.

Also went and view an A3 today which I have a deposit on and will be picking up tomorrow night. Will get some photos up of it. :)

Did you build it yourself?

Brought the car standard but had company's do most the work.
