this is my polo which i paid a mearly £30 for. It was a non runner with no MOT or tax (tax ran out in feb 09 and mot ran out jan 09), so i thought, break it and sell it as parts. but turned out after looking at it the next morning it was actually in good condition (better than expected)

when i got it it was soaked inside, and stuff growing inside of it.

i bought a new battery and the enginge turned and fired up :-D

(the last owner left it because he couldnt fire it up and couldnt sort out the leaks.)

heres some pics:

needs welding here.

need to be pressure washed.

i will be selling the trim off the sides

Looks a proper bargain!

Nice to see you getting stuck in :p

got a new window mech today and should hopefully be welding it next week, and the interior shall be fitted back in

Shell's in better condition than mine, £30 bargain.

You've got to love a car that has things growing in it :p

But it deffo is a bargain, doesn't look like much rot etc. Eitherway, you cannot go wrong for 30 quid haha

Cheers dude, 1 of mines was the battery tray think the other was from a wee weld under the dash at the arch near the tray for the battery, i think theres 1 coming in through the windscreen .
