Excellent car you've inherited mate. Still looking good with the new owner

One of my fave engine bays with that red intake piping actually

Looking good Jake

Getting there slowly, still sorting niggles out,

Had to refit the battery as the clamp bolt was cross threaded, and there still that rattle at the back,

Got a feeling I'm Guna have to rip the back seats out, and the panels to find them, but it may be underneath or a bush gone too.

At the moment the leon was more screwed together :(

[cuprajake]

Just picked up some s3 calipers, discs, pads, dust shields and hoses.

Really happy with them and will get them fitted next week.

Also logbook has come so plate can go on :)

[cuprajake]

Made a start on the calipers,

The previous owner had split them, I just needed to remove the layers of paint on there. Red yellow and blue lol

So I chemically stripped them and gave them a coat of primer, ready for red tomorrow.

No during pics for fear of melting my phone,

On another note, the seats are still a bit problematic with my back, which I really cannot understand I've drove hundreds of different cars and never had this

You set the lumbar up accordingly Jake?
