So this is the story:

Bought at the end of summer 2009 in preety bad shape (undriveble). Lots of things has to be replaced or repaired, previuos owner has a little crash so front part of car is not so well painted (color mismatch) and original color at the rest of the car was bleeded, so offcourse whole bodypaintwork has to be done :)
When all repairs and works was done, car has registred and back on the road...then I was lowered beeza with weitec 60/40 springs (but the car was lean only 35/30 instead 60/40 I don't know why), TaTechnics (good copy of supersprint) mainfold was installed and GoodYear F1 Eagle tyres. I was also put a few other things like K&N performance air filter, chrome air intake, Momo core steering wheel...etc...

It is 1.8 16V GTI engine, car was made at thee end of 1996, so here is a few pictures and a little movie about every detail, enjoy!

What's next...not much, strut bar is allready ordered, just waiting to arrive, at the end of the year I plan to put new coilovers (gewindefarwerk) because car is still too high for my taste. Tomorrow I'm ordered in exhaust servise because new fully flow exhaust will be applyed. I have in plan to make custom gerabox, firs 4 spoeed with ratio of Golf Mk2 GTI and 5-th gear will stay the same. Who knows later :)

Brummy have the same I think, anyways thanks for good compliments.
I did not mention It but in my country this is very rare model of car and It is hard to find one because all of Ibiza's are 1.0, 1.1, 1.3 or 1.4 engines. I was searching for It about 6 months.

That does look good, but the white centres match the white vinyl on the roof. ;)

the Black rims I had on mine last year were BBS RA's..
but, as i say, they might not even be on the car next weekend :D

How very colourful! Handling improved at all with the new bushes? Very very nice example of a kiwi :)

Yes, handling is improved, now weakest part of handlig is tyres...no more lag at steering and car is hard like steel...only now I need more grip. Tyres now are GoodYear F1 eagle, almost new (one year and about 5000-6000km) but they must be good warmed to have some serious grip
