I've owned this a couple of months now so thought i would start a build thread with it's current and ongoing progress.
After wanting one since there release and the fact they seem to be getting fewer and fewer i decided to bite the bullet and buy one.
I purchased this one from another forum member with a few mods already done but had already decided it would be going the same kind of route as my last Ibiza that i now regret selling
So within the first week of ownership it was in the workshop having the engine, G60 flywheel, VR6 clutch and black forest mounts from the Cordoba fitted to it.
After that i changed the steering rack due to a tight spot, front subframe and wishbones after giving them a couple of coats of hammerite.
Next on the list was to sort the front mount.
I wasn't keen on the pipework or the fitment so it all came out and i set about reworking it.
The rad has been relocated as far back as possible with the air con still installed and a new set of mounting brackets now hold the intercooler on.
Pipework wise i've fitted my lcr charge pipe and then run down the inside of the o/s wing into the cooler, on the throttle body side the pipework now runs between the front panel and chassis leg and the pancake pipe is now in the bin and a forge map sensor pipe in it's place.
I've got more plans ahead for the car which will eventually include a full respray, fitment of my K04 hybrid and forging the engine, it's in use daily so i need to try and keep it semi sensible but also want it to be fun along the way.
I've added a few pics but as always with me most of them are of it in bits!!
As always comments and sugestions welcome
