Cheers guys.

Have been the owner for over a week now and haven't even seen it!! Going to see her tomorrow, will get some pictures and make an order to start the ball rolling.

So, the polo is now sold. Guy and his daughter came up from cornwall yesterday. Spent a good hour looking over the car, even bought his VAGCOM to run through the system.

Had a bit of a problem just before they arrived, managed to drop my only key for him down the drain outside whilst washing the car, lying on the floor with your hand down a drain for more than 5 minutes wasn't the best start.

After discussions a price was agreed and deposit taken. They saw the car on this forum and hopefully think she will be joining here when she picks it up. Will be good to see future progress with it.

Car was sold on the standard BBS' which im putting back on this week, Ronal's are being sold to a mate.

Last picture on the wheels.




In other news took the Mk1 for a litte drive today, and man its hard work, no power steering on the current wheels was a bit of a challenge, however i did love the handling.
