1998 Seat Arosa - ACHTUNG !

[wallopadonkey]

had this little bogey for a runabout its a 1.4 and it's a cracking car





however it had been vandalised previously and was matt blacked roof and boot,

the sun roof had both of its supports snapped so is only held in with tiger seal

it may need a little tap with the big stick later


and I may have some more rims for it

so I figured why not change it a bit


just a quick rub down with the d/a 400 grit to give a nice key


and















finished in the dark again!








kids want a cannon on the roof lol

[carlb1970]

think those doglegg things are 4x108
i know its a bit pervy but i liked the look of the car between the paint stages, just rubbed down, but then I'm a scruffy sod.
no worries on the brewski, was cool meeting ya, catch up with ya again soon.... will pick ya brains again- when I'm ready, is it ok to bring that gas bottle adapter over where ya wwork and see what fittings i need to blank stuff off. then ill get me some gas and have a welding practise frenzie .
hows about doing ya momos black? or are they going back on the mx5

[wallopadonkey]

just nipped to carls house a few minutes ago and loaned a can of black lol
what do we think?

[minbin25]

love it

[brawr]

Nice colour combo, been there, done that

Not a big fan of Arrows but they look right at home there.

[TomD]

that looks wicked just needs tapping with a lowering stick

[wallopadonkey]

I don't know about a tap I think it needs a good slapping

That polo looks sweet was it sprayed or rollered like mine?

[brawr]

We gave it a quick blow over in my dad's workshop. Nothing pro, but it turned out really well

[carlb1970]

;D yay... loads better in black
love how this looks, youve totally transformed ya car fora few quid. top work fella

[wallopadonkey]

cheers carl good day at work?
got aircon lol
did you seal up the regulator?

[carlb1970]

not everyone works at the same speed as you matey, I'm having a beer , whilst thinkin about sealing up that regulator. work is poo and should be made illegal.

[wallopadonkey]

i have a standard subaru sti full exhaust system inc the cat had it for sale for ages and no one interested at £25 i thought sod it i'll fit it to the arosa however will the cat work because it is from a 2l turbo motor and mine is a lowly 1.4 i wondered if cats need a certain amount of heat to work ?

this is the exhaust and i will cut it to suit the seat which is no problem



fitting is not a problem just wondered if the cat will work as i have to have a working catalytic converter one on a 1998 car
cheers

[Rich]

Why don't you just leave the factory Seat cat and fit the rest of the scooby exhaust? I can't see why the scoob exhaust will not clean up the seats emissions though, if anything it will be more efficent surely as it has more monolith to 'clean' with..?

[wallopadonkey]

i figured the larger subaru cat would flow better wihth just the large back box would still silence enough

i just don't know if they just work or need a given amount of heat / flow to get an 'operating temperature'
cheers
dave

[wallopadonkey]

dunno what ya think of this but i thought it would be a giggle
printed off some single sheets and gave a light dusting of matt white over it



then i cut a little star out of some brown paper and satin blacked a star the over stencilled with a light white dust not sure if i like it yet or not and might just overpaint it again
cheers
dave

[surprisingskoda]

Go back round with the green to cover the white dusting around where the A4 was

The star is odd with the white under it. A big brown star on its own would work though.

[tomti]

love it!

[carlb1970]

saw this in the flesh earlier, had me and the missus giggling like little girls! cracking job matey
