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

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
So it's a 2008 seat leon K1 (proper one not just a body kit)
2.0T TSFi engine 240bhp (K04 turbo)
6 speed manual
30k on the clocks
It's fully loaded Sat nav cruise control auto xenon lights and wipers aircon the lot
It's stock at the mo but already ordered a milltek non res exhaust
