Hi Mike welcome to the forum!

Looks like you've got yourself a nice little project there! What's the plans aside from the obvious restoration?

Craig

well i'll be posting the pix up so you will see anyways but basically i'm going for a baby blue and black look, it's nearly ready for spraying now but its the bloody weather thats stopping me.
i have all the parts for it like wheels and mirrors bumpers ect but can't put um on untill its sprayed, oh i also have done sumin a bit different by putting the mk5 6n2 boot lid and rear lights on it and smoothed the body under the lights to make it all flush but you will see soon.

Sounds good interested to see it painted with that mk5 rear end, haven't seen one in that colour before tbh!

as you can see its all out and in the bin it went



the bonnet had a few scrap yard dents

well as someone is actually doing this, a qustion i have seen people ask is will a mk5 boot fit straight onto a mk4 or did u need to do some body changing?

Nice work there chap. Looks like there's a couple of 6n's being repaired on here at the minute.

If you don't mind me asking, roughly how much do you expect it will cost in total to repair? And how much are you doing yourself (especially paintwise!)

Thanks
Anthony

yes it fits straight on but the mk4 has a swage line across the back and the mk5 doesn't so i flushed it all in

rear quater dent filled and smoothed



smoothed my side repeaters



primered the car



mk5 tailgate just put on no modifications



got ready for welding plates in

mate i am actually really excited for this project! I have read so many "hello im dave ive got a mk4 polo and ive put clear indicaters and a debadged grille on it" this is awesome to see and respect for doing the work yourself. Make sure u keep us posted!

mike, when u say your qualified in the painting and im guessing looking at the pics welding and body work department, do u have your own paint shop or u doing it outside? im interested in getting my car repainted one day but only want a cheap but nice job.
