UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well, since the derby is mostly done, I am now beginning my other project on the polo. the car is a 76 polo l with 0,9l engine and 40hp :redface:

My plans:

exterior- original. the same look as my derby. lots of chrome
interior- just the plain steel painted, 2 race bucket seats and 4point harnesses, and a cage.
engine- 3f engine with tuning cam and motorcycle carbs. (90-100hp)
old skool 13X6-7" wheels and 80-100mm lowering.

there is extremely little rust on this car luckily. almost just the front and the door, but I have got a new one in store.

should get the weight down to 550-600kg when it is done.. that is a lot of fun with 100hp
Me and a friend who is the owner of http://www.raceland.no is going on a trip to ast suspension in valkenswaard, holland and further down to raceland in belgium in the beginning of july. On this trip I will also stop in dortmund and pick up an 3f engine Just have to get a passport. I thought one could travel between schengen countries without showing passports, but holland seems to have changed theese rules lately btw: a passport costs 80 pounds in norway..

started with stripping the car today and scraping the floor for padding and glue.. more updates to come.

sweeeeeeeeeet dude!! keep us posted!

looking forward to this!

Will be interesting to follow this topic, I belive
You know I envy you on lackness of rust

cool project,fair bit of surface rust but nothing structural. you wont be able to go 100mm down tho without serious body work

Depends what kind of spring rates he's planning. Race car... super low on very stiff suspension, sounds like a plan!

Looking forward to seeing plenty of pics with this project as well

thing is tho it doesnt matter how stiff you go- the drive shafts and trackrod ends will be touching the body. Mine does it at 80mm

Cool dude.

Keep us posted.

that looks like a very nice project
Good luck with the rebuild and keep us posted!

Unfortunately my job and girlfriend is taking up much of my time now, but somthing has happened the car is tottaly stripped, the engine is out and I am ready to start the welding that has to be done.. Maybe I'll stop at 80mm lowering, has'nt began checking my options there yet.. will post some pics soon..
