Here is my Polo when I picked it up.











And Here it is now:















Those wheels are my mates 17s and they are back on his car now, i have my monza 16s back on now. I have done quite a bit to the car already and i plan to do a lot more aswel, here are some photos of my progress and future projects:


Me and my mate ash fitting 16v kit.






Installing my FK angel eyes was a bit of effort in the end, but overall a great result.


These 16v hubs drive shafts and brakes are going on tomorrow:



Then the suspension (already on the car) off an auto:

Got some large plans for the car, just undergone a complete engine overhaul, ported and polished inlet manfold, exhaust ports, new stainless manifold, full stainless system, gt camshaft, lowering down to about 70mm on some polished pirelli p-slots.

Cheers, ollie.

wow the car looks sweet as, what did you need for the 16v brake conversion, and when you fitted the 16v rear bumper, when you took of your old one did only the top part come of then you removed the bottom bit or did all of it come off together? as im trying to fit a valver bumper as we speak but ive given up lol.

cheers Ant

How they change is quiete a sight...

Looks really nice

Expect a PM when I decide to get some angel eyes as I'll no doubt get stuck...

I found an automatic with vwll brakes on it, so i took the suspension and the hubs off it. then just ground all the s**t off it and painted it all, here are photos of the second day, the 1st day are on my camera, these are form my phone:

just got carriers on, calipers come next,


just got the calipers on here.



Here is the final result, couldnt get the centre caps back on as locating pins bent get some more tomorrow it be ok.





Then here are some pics of my engine overhaul:


Then had to grind my valves into the seats to create a better seal as all the exhaust valves were shot!

wow cars looking great mate!! lot of hard graft gone in2 that!! keep up the good work!!

cheers dan, indeed, many cold nights spent in the garage, all in the name of progress though!

Just a quick snap pf my motor




And my new toy to go in:




Should have have the manifold hooked up to a full system very soon, next week maybe.

nice one, looking good.

get that manifold in!

lookin sweet,not really been a fan of angel eyes but each to there own (im sure theres a lot of folk who would dissagree with me) i was gona be giving my polo the 16v treament soon, how difficult was that?

ur ride is lookin very sxy, , i keep havin doubts in my mind whether or not 2 keep moddin my car, an wen i see a car as good as urs, i think wow, i want mine sittin smooth like that, that is defintly 1 for the photo album. keep up the moddin an keep showin us ur car, coz it is hot!

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, its easy to get bored polo boi, just keep at it, the result is always worth it.

paul007, 16v bumpers you mean? they are faily easy on the polo scale, on par with fitting a sub and wheels added together say.

I got myself a nice new set of pedals the other day, here's some snaps:


Here's the pedals as they were:


Bang a centre punch on it to get you started:


Ones you're punched you can drill a small hole in the pedal then open it up with a bigger drill bit, you need to be careful that you dont keep going through the floor pan though, just try not to put too much pressure on the pedal and you'll be fine.:


Then put some 5mm tap heads in and you're done:


I didnt do the clutch pedal as I ran out of light, plus it's plastic so i want to put a backing plate on to drill into.
Cheers, Ollie.

Just put some green l.e.d sides in my lamps, I think they look cool and it was less than a fiver.
