Comments: purchased the car for £30 as it was going to scrap. booked an mot for the end of the week and

got her to pass. Used it for a month before stripping down to bare shell then took 6 months

building her into blondie the rally car.

The car was ready on the thursday night before they rally on the sat night. so took it out for

a test. I liked it alot.

Then won the Rally Bro Preseli 2004 overall that sat night. not bad first rally first victory.

since then won every up to 1400cc class on the rallys the car has finished.

building a new engine with gk pistons ported & polished head and a newman cam.

some action pics

I bet she sounds luch, I've got a mk2 1.3 polo (pic) and am looking for an induction kit, where is the best place to go as i noticed yours.

If you can help??

Cheers matt :-) :-)

is yours running with 3f mk3 engine and injection?

How much more power would an induction kit do to my standard 1.3 coupe s

it wont give you much power as the only need to get more air is if the engine is modified and needs more air but on a standard engine it will give you noise and thats about it

How did you sort out the sunroof?

How did you sort out the sunroof?

what sunroof?

it never had one

oh right. I saw the sunroof winder and thought that you'd had it welded over or something and left the winder :)

lol I see what you mean that is actually the rear view mirroe holder.

Ah yes! Now I see it. lol. I feel a bit stupid but it does look a lot like my sunroof winder. I should have noticed that's where the mirror goes though

been in this last weekend, have to say a truely exillerating experience! the car handles and accelerates like a dream! can take som much abuse, have to say the owners a top driver too!! averaging 70+ on narrow country lanes where both mirrors are touching the hedges superb

cheers tom.
