Thanks Brad we are really pleased :D

It was owned by a chap who had very similar idea to us, his mate and him had there own body shop so he spend a lot of time and money on this shell, due to the current clement there company has gone in to liquidation so he can no longer fund the build itself.

Were lucky as we have a lot of stuff but have to look at custom fuel tank and fuel lines, exhaust and intercooler piping so there is a bit of money to be spent.

Such a shame as he is such a nice chap and has asked to be kept updated on progress.

Hi Elaine!

Wow! This wouldn't happen to be my old car known as the 'lemon' that is being stripped for the project would it? my reg was HX51 XUW.....

If it is why would you strip such an up together car? or did it get pranged up or something? Would love to know what plans you have as i really did love that car! :(

Thanks everyone this is going to be one hell of a project!!!

Chris yes thats right its your old car, in the very bad weather before christmas Dan had a really bad car crash and wrote the shell off so to make the best out of it we are putting most of the parts in to this sheel.

Will be a much better track car this way, dont get my wrong I liked the Seat was really nice to drive but these things happen for a reason :)

Bloody hell, anyone else involved or was it a simple one without claiming through the insurance? It was quick given the mods i had done, one of THE quickest out there for the 180 engines with a K03s turbo.

I am gutted to hear Dan smahed it, i know it sounds weird but im curious, have you any pictures of the damage?

Nope thank god just Dan, it was a good car and after the remap it went even better but these things happen.

I have not seen the car since the night of the crash and if I had my way I would not see it again but I have to help strip it.

I will take a few pics and post them so you can see what’s left of it

Just a little update, the Seat that was written off has now been stripped and we have everythign we need from it so in the next few weeks we hope to really get cracking on this....

Biggest thing holding us up in chosing the colour for the mk1 shell!!

This is the Seat before and after
