I've forgotten how nice it is to polish a black car! de-wipered and de-badged the rear this afternoon after shantybeater and alexp had inspected the vehicle!

look at the shine

Mine was that shiny until I actually had to take it off the driveway today... now its covered in muck again

Nice one tomo! Was wondering what you had got???

Black cars are where its at man lol plans sound good hope it all works out mate

umm I'm not sure about the whole engine code thing!

AYP :)

well a fair few of you should recognise this.....

it certainly looks different to when my bro owned it!!

good luck with your project mate, loved you are previous GTI! hows the cupra looking? already got polished engine bits so you got a head start there!!

haha ye sure does...! the cupra is pretty much stripped of everthing and shantybeater has nicked the shiny bits.....but it is perfect for the conversion especially as it has revo1

the soul of the car lives on...

good to see bits are being used and not all being thrown in a scrappy! Revo stage 1 was amazing for the car! Totally transformed the power on it! You should take the seats as you mentioned leather was needed for your GTI. Thats if they're still in the car lol

na seats are gone....everything is realy! I've basically bought the engine in the shell and keys!

got a k03s ready to go straight on and also up it to stage3 and a couple of other mods

What suspension set up u going to be running matey? Awful lot of power for a polo! lol, going to be mad! Would love to see this go up the 1/4 mile against Harv's, results would be very interesting! Lets not include Ash's polo in the race eh.. 320 odd bhp sounds foooookin lethal!

Edited 7 May, 200818 yr by big_k

all of it looks good

good luck with dropping the 1.8T in

probably KW's with an arb

i dont think harvs will cause too many problems in a straight line due to the 1.8t being such a more powerful lump but i wouldnt be too confident against it on a b road thrash!!

yes ash's mk4 is in a different league but one day....

Hey mate can i ask, is the rocker cover polished or chromed? its in a bit of a state & I'm not sure whether to try sanding it or not

just polished mate. we used alot of meguaris next metal polish and the stuff worked great. the shine used to get better and better on it as there was alot of dirt from the engine going on it. give it some good scrubs with that and see how it goes

(its me Troopa btw sitting on Gugz account lol)

Edited 9 May, 200818 yr by Gugz
