hey guys,

my names dominic and I'm 19, i recently purchased this unknown year mk2 breadvan.

its a 1.1 sunroof model, all standard, it has 69k on the clock and is said to be the only one in australia!!!

its rust free and has been sitting for 8 years untill i have got ahold of it... the interior is mint with the dash ans seats in immaculate condition

my plans are to run rediculous offset and width (show) wheels 13x7 and 13x9 rears unsure of offset yet

also i have a set of CBR600 bike carbs to go on in the next few months....

i wont be touching it for a few good weeks as i also have another car to build a 85 golf cabriolet with 9a 16v with KR cams and extractors

also unsure of the color to do the polo, tossing up between matt army green or brown with luis vuitton print on the bonnet (I'm not gay) just cool print! and a matt black roof

or a old skool Dr Pepper van with faded out logo on a matt red car

my numberplate is TOSTAH

love this site and looking forward to browsing your site!!

i have many many questions to ask you guys

here are both cars

cheers guys

g'day mate!

whoa!

welcome to the site mate, hope you enjoy it

You will be having fun with the rear arches then!

Should be sick when done. Arches will need work. Although a mate of mine is running 14x9 steffans on a mk2 breadvan at the rear and its down 70mm. Did take some work but nothing overly hard!! Anything is possible if you want it bad enough!! :-D

Oh and hello from the lovely UK

You will be having fun with the rear arches then!

lol yes there will be massave poke, about 3-4 inches... but thats ok its only for cruises and shows.. i also have bilstein 60/40 drop full suspension

i have soo many questions to ask you guys.... scince this polo is the only one in australia, i have no idea how to put some of the stuff back together

all i have is a haynes manual

this is my list of mods so far:

mitsubishi 14x5.5 steelies custom painted and centerbore done to vw spec

cbr600 quad carbs

my final design plan

another set of wheels 13x5.5

lowerd it slightly

i think thats it for now

dom

those wheels on that car.... YES!!!!!! love how its progressing... lovin the mk1 project too...

Welcome to the forum. Nice to see the number of international users is growing!

Welcome! I love it when people from abroad join- put some of us (like myself) to shame fairly rapidly...

Loving the wheels you got set up so far!

they're's stickers galore like your design plan lol!

Look forward to see whats coming...

Welcome. Hope some of us are able to help you.

Welcome to the forum. Nice to see the number of international users is growing!

How many non-UK peeps is that now then?

lol yes there will be massave poke, about 3-4 inches...

That will look good though. I'm liking the look of the steels too

3?

Loads of dutch and germans, an american, a fin and a swede and now this lad. Dunno what else... Few croatians and maltesers as well.

wow guys thanks for the very warm welcome

i will be on this site very often searching and chatting and asking and posting

just a quick question, would 13's be the best option for what i plan on doing?? or can i go 14x9 rears??

cheers

dom

13's look sweet on Polo's (shouldnt be saying that I just bought 14's for my mk3 haha). You ever considered Berg cup arches modified to fit it? Never seen Cup arches on a Bready!!

Welcome to the forum!!

Nice to see an interest in Polo's showing up all over the world now!!

:)

P.S. I just got BBS RJ's for my Polo and have been looking for a photo of nice gold/polished BBS's for inspiration, thanks for the Golf pic I've just printed it!!

Hi there welcome to the forum :)

14 x 9s won't go on without major arch work I'm afraid!! Unless you like em pokin out miles haha

I reckon it will look good on the steels tbh

Where abouts in Australia are you?

I'm flying out 2mo :-)

Upset about leaving my 2 Mk1 polos behind

Col Car man lookng forward to see it progress ..

G'day! :grin: How can you not be tempted to run the standard body on those ace little 13in alloys? They're superb. You think they'd post around the world..? Those BBS,and MK1 Golf arches,would also be good! Infact,the entire MK1 Golf cab is just gorgeous

wow thanks for the kind reply, i love my cabriolet soo much... although its a pain in the ass to rebuild :(

someone earlier mentioned 14x9's with lots of poke... that is the plan with it... i want heaps of poke out the arches with this little thing

well I'm deciding inbetween the 2 rims... the orig 13's widened or the 14's widened??

if i am to have the 13's widened, i will leave the 14's 5.5 width and run stretched space saver tyres for laughs

as for the 13 inch alloys, I'm not sure what i am going to do with them....

dom

update... i lowerd it abit

also i have picked my theme for the car... although it will be flat paint

dom

Quick throw another shrimp on the barby... sorry i had to say it

the polo should look alsome once its finished i kinda like it how it is now tho

the polo looks sweet, and very low for 60/40. i didnt think it would be that low for some reason

believe it or not i actually like it too, but i want it as my daily and I'm not sure if i can get it registerd looking like this, although it does look awesome

hehe the 60/40 hasnt been fitted yet, these are standard springs cut, the 60/40 will go in once i get it registerd, this is just for a laugh

cheers mate, i have 2 sets of 14" steelies in 2 diffrent colors, the alloys and the standard rims... dont know whitch way i will go though

dom

Welcome mate.

Good luck with the rear arches, I've always been wary of messing with them for width on a square but good luck..

Bet your polo has never had carb freezing

well huge update:

the car is painted, although not the color i was originally intended hehe

the car runs, and drives, only mechanical thing i have to do is, hook up brake lines and install my bilstein 60/40 suspension

then install the interior and get it registerd!!!

here are some pics

and this is the final Pshop of how i want it to look with the air ride suspension

enjoy

BTW, the color is mars red (matt)
