its been quite a while since i updated my build, main reason is because its been winter and I've not done much to be honest. over the last few weeks though I've stripped the tyres off m banded steels for a fresh coat of powder and this week I've been getting on with my lovely SSR's :D ended up taking an angle grinder to the barrels as they were pretty corroded and the centres wudnt fit in anymore, massive thanks to matty for the help! I've also cleaned up the backs of the wheels as i felt they were gna let the wheels down, lots of elbow grease and a scotch bright pad they came up really nice. got the dremel out too to clean up some of the corrosion i cudnt get to, they just need a quick polish and then i can bolt them back together, just need tyres and some sunny weather n they should be on the polo once more :D heres a few piks to wet you are apitite

SSRs are nearly done, awaiting tyres, hopefully arrive tomorow. gave the lips a buff up as they had gone dull and a few 'milky' patches, first i tried a patch with autosol but soon found out it was way too abrasive and left scratches, id heard that meguires metal polish was good so went and got myself a pot, my god i wasnt dissapointed, that stuff is the shit! i used autosol on stubbourn bits and then buffed with megs, even I'm impressed how good of a jab I've done :) heres the piks
