yeah i added the breather oultlet, its a bolt with a hole drilled down the middle

although i hear they dont really need it?

got this little matchbox size model off ebay lol

just had the rocker cover bead blasted to make it look newish

from this

to this

sweeeet man

prob leaving it as it...its nice and smooth now so a scotch pad with soon clean it up

^that does look great like that, pure factory finish.

I would roll with it like that and if it tarnishes bad then paint it...

steve did you put the breather in the back as a DIY jobbie?

i have the same rocker with no breather and its trying to shoot it out the camshaft oil seal :( on both my cars.

edit: i have learnt to read now, you added it yourself. engine bay looks good, nice and factory.

yeah its drilled and tapped and my dad drilled a bolt to suit

although the car it came off must of had the same breather system ?? so i dunno how they get on

decided to convert the seats to heated for the winter...£59 ebay kit

they're really nice on a cold day..

I'm impressed, this will work pretty instantly unlike the heating certainly in my car.

Us Scots are that tough we can sit on blocks of ice.

I had my first frozen screen tonight and then the heater matrix started it's below zero squeak. I'm sure the speedp/dash will start doing it's starwars noise soon lol.

As said on Polo 3 mate I absolutely love this car and your work! The heated seats are a brilliant idea! Love how clean the whole car is

Heated seats are a god send in winter.

Genius.. Might have to think about this as a later mod to mine. Especially as my fans are broke :( Smart idea..

just like mine :) i like it alot matey. were the LED's in the dash hard to do?

not too bad to led the dash...takes a bit of effort like

heres a pic of what i did inside...basicly a led just to one side of each logo you want lit...trail the wires out of the original place and connect up

thats a clean car for the mileage. i like it mate, and nice one on the heated seats

Get some picks of the dash all lit up from the back seats, i'm actually well thinking about doing something similar!

I've tried to get more pics but i cant get em to come out clear..think i need a better camera tbh

you got nothing to looose it wont look at worse than nothing lighting up at all

and you can change colours if you have a modern headunit

Hmm, i've tried to have that panel off before, if I remember rightly it was a right c*nt. I'll have a stab at it on paper first, work out the resistances. Good old Ohms law! :-D

abd engine to fit sometime once its cleaned up and checked over

I want this car!! How clean is it though really!! You sure it hasnt done 17k???

I want this car!! How clean is it though really!! You sure it hasnt done 17k???

unless its been clocked the wrong way lol

does seem to get through speedos though ..its had about 3-4 clusters in now

hmmm intresting, so You want to sell it me? or help me find a minty one for me to px my coupe? When do you plan on doing the conversion?

Interesting engine change, am I right in thinking your fitting your original head to it with your standard inlet and weber?

What about gearbox? does it have a 5 speed or do you use the 5 speed you already have?

I'm sick of not knowing where my coolant is going, if a new rad doesn't sort it I'd be tempted to do the same or just a standard 1.3 lump, as you said in another thread I wouldn't pay much in the right scrappy.

Also while I'm here do you need new speedo/clocks because I have a spare set off a 86 polo which you can have for nothing, think you were having issues with fuel gauge?

i already have a 5 speeder ..but those abd golfs should have the 085 box you need to convert (would still need a polo mount tho)

yes i plan to use my head and weber , as far as i know its all interchangable also looks like the abd head could be drilled for the fuel pump and use my old cam ...will have a look when i know what condition the head is in

paid £45 for it ...maybe another £40 on gaskets and a water pump so its not a dear conversion ,plus i can hopefully sell a few bits like the dizzy etc and make some ££ back.

from the figures in can find online its roughly 10% torque and 10% hp increase ..plus whatever having no cat and the weber gives

I've got some clocks on thier way thanks very much anyway
