UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Here I have my much beloved 1980 MK1 Polo L (895cc)

It is completely unmodified, has never been resprayed and is completely 100% original in every single way.

I was given this by my elderly neighbour in 2005, who owned it since new, it was only used as a grocery car for his wife over 25 years and ...

She'll be as reliable as she's been driven & treated, I think you could very quickly get rid of her for £500-£600, more if you have FSH.

For what little effort is involved I would get the car yourself and wet & dry the rust, fill it, Ku-Rust it & keep it yourself.

If it's a genuine 32K on the ...

Been looking for a new project and a MK1 1.1GLS has popped up, no tax, no mot, all it needs is a new ignition barrel.

You think it's worth it - I've not dealt with the ignition before, if I couldn't do it myself how much do you think it would cost to fit a new one if i get hold of one?

Just brought a car for my lil-bro same as your's except its got FSH & 44K on the clock. didn'y pay anywhere near 400 notes for it. - I would have happily paid £600-700 as it is in mint condition - and i mean floorless.

MK2's are not worth a huge amount of money, MK1s maybe, MK3s - if they are the ...

Hey all,

since getting my mk1 golf i've now spent inexcess of £1200 not including insurance, tax, mot or originally buying it. Other than some slight bubbling on the front right wing it's showroom :D

Anyway.. my little bro has passed his test and my rents (with my help) have just brought him his ...

I owned a MK1 Polo, MK2 Polo then i brought my self a MK1 Golf GTI 2.0 Litre 8V.

If it was a MK1 polo in good nick i would say go for it, i wouldn't touch a MK2 Polo again with a barge pole (no offence intended) after the Mk1 Polo i just found the MK2 to be ugly, electrically s**t, not much ooomph ...

Fitting the waterpump is easy as pie really, getting to it is another matter.

I personally would pay someone to do it, you'll pay about £30 labour max.

I paid £40 to have mine fitted and the carb cleaned and a cambelt put on.. (£40 labour)

Just a 1600, i've only got 5 months left on my insurance and its costing me an extra £200 with immobiliser, on top of my original £640 payment.

TPFT for the moment until i get my no claims.

Didnt get it, but i did get a resprayed, refurbed engine, MOT & Tax.. on a 1600cc VW Golf MK1 For a very very good price

lol two subs in the boot of an MK2 ... nice

You just need to secure it better, or limit it to one sub, as the boot doesnt have a big enough air volume to use two subs properly..

When i brought my MK2 it had a self tinting job done on the rear window over the window heating stripes, it had been there for about 4 years and i pealed it off without any problems at all.

Also, i must tell you that having tried tinting myself, i would spend the £130 for it to be done ...
