Cheers buddy boys <3 Been a while since I updated, and a lot has happened!

Here I go:

I ended up coming to a deal with a my good friend and member on here, Llyr, and ended up owning this beast:

After a little fettling, it now looks roughly like:

Then I've been busy trying to get the Bora ready for GTI international show & shine, had **** loads to do in 2 weeks, the list:

- Change subframe
- Remove ARB
- Dye/wrap the roof lining and pillars
- Clean new interior up
- Seats in
- Twindicate headlights
- Get the car to the bodyshop for spraying
- Respray the splitters and grills
- Get wheels sprayed
- Polish the rest of the dishes
- Rebuild the wheels
- Get adapters made up
- Get tyres on
- Get the wheels on and work on the stance
- Detail the car and correct the paint
- Detail the Ibiza too before Inters

The story so far:
Car was bought into the garage, jacked up, and subframe removed

Definitely needed changing haha! The one take off will be getting welded up and plated.
Picked up a new interior:

Front end was then stripped down and dropped off at the bodyshop

Then stripped the headlights down

And then made these, twindicated:

Unsure on which to go for though, joey'd or back to standard reflectors, thinking of going for the standard reflectors

Then wrapped the roof lining and other bits

Picked the car up from the bodyshop yesterday, going to start rebuilding it, then get the wheels rebuilt on Monday, get the tyres on and on the car, while detailing and correcting the paint!

And that's it for now!

Haven't updated this thread in ageeeeeeeeeeeeees.
Copy and pasted from another thread:


The week before Inters!
Picture heavy!


So, on Monday, picked my wheels up and started building
IMG_9098.jpg


Started stripping my interior
IMG_9069.jpg


Changed my handbrake because it was worn (Because drift car)
IMG_9030.jpg


Leather door cards in
IMG_9073.jpg


On Tuesday
Stripped my armrest and retrimmed in faux leather to match the seats
IMG_9067.jpg


Resprayed my splitter
IMG_9006.jpg


Finished building my wheels and started getting tyres fitted
IMG_9101.jpg


On Wednesday
Sealed the headlights up, and started getting the front end back together and lined up
IMG_9105.jpg


Started detailing
IMG_9107.jpg

IMG_9108.jpg



After it was clayed etc, had a closer look at the paint and the orange peel was really bugging me
IMG_9114.jpg


So... I got the 1200/1500/2000/2500 out
IMG_9115.jpg

IMG_9160.jpg


Then on Thursday
Carried on flatting the rest of the car down

Looking a right mess, with 24 hours to go till I set off for Inters!

After
IMG_9182.jpg


Looking a lot better

IMG_9184.jpg


Finished the polishing at around 6/7pm, and then my mate came round with the adapters all finished!
So straight on they went
IMG_9186.jpg


Coilovers down and dropped the car. Wasn't sitting right, but was too tired so off to bed I went!
IMG_9188.jpg


Then woke up bright and early on Friday, with about 8 hours till I set off for Inters.
So started playing around with the stance! Rears poked too much so had to do some more flaring :( Need to get the adapters milled down asap!!
