What to do with my 2001 Polo 6N2 SDI
Posted: Sun Sep 20, 2026 6:15 pm
Hi Vdub folks,
I've owned my 2001 Polo SDI 6N2 for 20 years, but the body has reached the point where it needs a resto. Wheel arches and sills are the issue. Car is original, other than alloy wheels. SDI engine and g/box were well maintained (and slick 50'd) and run well despite 220k miles. I have a replacement RH swivel axle to fit. Problem is I just don't have time to do the resto work. But it seems a shame to scrap what has been a very reliable car.
What to do?
