Nathan94 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Hi guys,Bought a Lupo Sport on 1st April this year, on the cars birthday. It's in a bit of a state at the moment and I've only started getting it roadworthy within the last couple of weeks as I bought in a bit of a state, but at the same time is was a very good price!Here's my old Lupo, not long before someone wrote her off and she got sold Anyways, this is my new car:It's got 76,000 miles on the clock, aircon, full heated leather, VW CD player, VMAXX coils and by the looks of it it's had the gearbox swapped out for the 75hp version, to which I'm actually quite happy about! It's been sat for two years which is why it was mega cheap, but for its spec, colour and mileage, I'd much rather save it than strip it (my original plans).Anyway, it needs at least the following before it can even think about an MOT:-Windscreen-All new discs and pads -Both handbrake cables-Alternator-Wipers-ABS sensorThose are the only things that seem to stand out, but once it is roadworthy, hopefully I can get the following done:-Full service-Timing belt-Fit GTI Xenons-Fit GTI headlining and mirrors-Clutch-Full polish and touchup (hopefully gonna try save for a full respray)-Smoothed front bumper-Pressed plates-Tyres for the BBS RWs -Refurb the coils as they're completely seized-Hammerite all the suspension components and some bits underneath (shed loads of surface rust)-Find a spoiler-Buy some Cambridge lights-Momo wheel-Steam clean the engine bayANYWAY, here's some of the progress pics from the last week since we've started work:Replaced the front discs and pads and bought an orignal VW grill and badge (had an FK badgeless grill and half moon)Rusty front discs and suspension bits The back discs and showing a photo of how goosed they actually were.Anyway, that's it for now. I'll try keep this updated, but there should be a lot of work on it this week as it needs to go for an MOT within the next week!
