UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I havnt been on here in AGES!!!

Jesus!

Right so heres the updates after a long absence!

Had a problem with one of the coilover mounts snapping whilest on a round about FAIL!



Fianlly got round to stripping the damage down and got some pics for everyone, luckly iv only done the drive shaft stearing rod lower arm and coilys



Repairable?


Busted CV boot and drive shaft


f****d lower arm




Busted coily mount...






So its now fixed and currently sitting like this -

Excuse the front wheels (being refurbed)





Whilest it was f****d and took to cleaning the engine bay, only a 1.4 but f**king shiney and clean (pic dont do it justice at all )




And this weekend i got work on my boot build #2 stil wip but looks good atm





Right as some of you may know, the other night a 60yr old crahsed into the side of my whilest i was on a round about...

blah blah long story short, the bloke came out today and after paying £1400 for the car, his giving me £1500 to repair it, and after checking it over, i need another new lower arm a door and a wing, can prob both pick these cheap up from a breakers, then off to get sprayed



It then went for body work...



I baught a 16v front bumper and smoothed both top and bottoms vents aswell as the plate recess...





I also picked up some oz tubros off Derm but they need refurbing...

and heres how it stands atm

100mm all around

I still think it needs a 1600 head and some bike tthrottle bodies (agree people im trying to flog them lol)

Looking good though man, where did you take those pics? Looks like a decent graff wall i may have to go down put some art on it, sea walls to fricking cold this time of year lol.

How much we talking for the head and throttle bodies and how much work we talking?

Location is up london under waterloo station, its a massive tunnel

Shame about the repairs, £££ could've gone on mods!

Nice to see another polo rocking the same style 16v bumper

Ahh its life though aye, and yeah all about single vented smoothness

I like this motor alot,good work man seems like you've had some bad times but then sometimes leading to good ones.Keep up the good work and accidents to a minimum.

Sorry to hear about the prang. Did see your car jacked up outside yours for a while.

Latest pics look pukka, might have to take a drive down there myself for a shoot. By waterloo station right. Shame about the old alloys, they looked great on it.

Mate, your motor is a beauty... I'd love to have that lol.
