Yeah gone lol same as the trip computer heater controls etc

Only thing I have is the direction changer thingy so I can change it from face to the windscreen, but it's stuck on auto so it randomly changes speed and heat lol. But the whole heater system is going soon.

Off work for a week so thought I'd clean up my head and get a few bits sorted.

Took the block off the engine stand. This has to show progress as it hadn't moved in a year i think haha



Dug all the pistons out to have a look



Spec sheet



Piston where they will live, don't fit yet lol





Cleaned up the head. Was well dirty I ran out of engine cleaning stuff









Block and head are to the machine shop soon. I'm going to drop the valves get it skimmed etc fit new valves stems and build back up. The block is being made to accept the 82.5mm pistons :D

Bit more done today :) I love being off work.

First I changed my track rod ends as I had a knackered one. (No pics strangely haha)

Then I strip and cleaned the rest of the sound deading under the drivers seat and rear seats.





Bit of rust under the drivers side which was a bit disappointing to find :(

Removed some plastic trim clips, was lazy when I yanked out the plastics



Got rid of the Ariel wire as it was hanging down in me rear view mirror.



Final pic

WTF?
That's gutting, I dont even understand why someone would set it alight unless they left prints everywhere trying to get it started? Where was it at the time? Any leads?

Well new car has landed :)
As you know the Ibiza project got cut short. Still ****s me off now, not finishing it is the most annoying thing, even annoys me more than how much money I spent on it.
No leads in to who or why I did find a long square shape wood stick under the drivers seat which I think was part of a firework but guess we'll never truly know.

But hay I broke the Ibiza, all the parts where gone in 2 weeks looks like this now

Never went through insurance. Couldn't be bothered with the long winded process.

Any way the parts off the Ibiza allowed me to buy this out right :)
