Quick update..

My second valver bumper has been plastic welded and sanded. ready for its first skim of fibre glass

Plastic welded using the soldering iron method, takes time but its a good result for a first ever attempt. Rear is plastic welded and re-enforced with aluminium mesh that has been melted into the plastic along the whole length of every seem. Fibre glass will be added to reenforce the rear too.. as the bumper stands..




Ive gotten a badged grill also, so shall be trying the original grill back to see what it looks like.

And i have managed to buy something special.. Full 6n2 interior convertion should be doing it next weekend so shall get pics then

updates as they come

Quick update..

So.. This Happened



All in order to change a Heater matrix.. takes the p***, money i was going to use to get new interior bits

Sad times..

Leave it stripped ready for new interior

Soo umm...

Only needs a new glovebox - handles broken off and a second cup holder

Full convertion.. £100.. WINNING!

Any plans for a 6n2 rear bumper ?. I think that would finish it off very nicely.

More updates soon..

Insurance renewal time.. £1800 Bye bye rota funddd

Because of this C U Next Tuesday of a setback, ill be focusing on the tiny little touches that will probably get forgotten or overlooked when buying big things.. so little interior touches etc..

Progress will be slow for a while now

On the bright side, 6n2 Doorcards are now in - the convertion is now complete

Updates soon..

Dashboard itself is a straight swap. Only thing you have to do is hit/beat/cut out the two mounts that the side of the dashboard fixes into (where you have to open doors to access). These will need to be replaced with 6n2 ones..

Heater matrix is directly swappable between the 6n & 6n2 heater housing - you WILL need ALL the heater components from a 6n2 - housing, blower, directional tubing etc..

The looms have to be modified from 6n2 to 6n - i did NOT do this myself so i cannot take any credit or give any help with this..

Cheers man for what u can help with

So, an update. But by far not a good one. However, ill start with a possitive..

Decided to make due with the wheels i currently had on the car and decided to spray them red. I got a few spray cans of 'VW Mars Red' from work and got cracking.. results werent perfect by all means but i didnt want something perfect as these wheels are hated.





Whilst the wheels were off, i tried on my mates wheels from his Starlet GT Turbo, Sprint Hart & Wed-sports 14".. Look mint in fairness! Cant wait to get my rota's with the polished lip..




And my wheels all fitted..




now.. two days later.. There was snow. Yea, enough said.



Can anyone see where this is going?






Standard height again for insurance stupid woman driver + Snow = Poorly Polo !

Wing F**KED, bumper scuffed, dent in door, paint chipped off bonnet and two wheels scuffed with 1 day old paint

Updates, well.. repairs soon

Bit of an update since the bump..

Car is going in for work.. i say work, the thing is getting dismantled. Boot, bonnet, doors and bumpers are comming off. Along with the windows..

She's having some fresh paint all over.. the last job was in a nutshell: a 'p*** take' of a job. So its getting rubbed back and starting all over from scratch. Properly this time.

Also, Ive bought some New wheels

Updates soon..

nice
