really looking forward to seeing this finished!! Keep it up mate!!

awsome ness

Fucking amazing mate.

the stance, da detail,

keep it going because that can be a show winner

hnoest. faaat

Them wheels are mint! love them

were you running 165/50's on the turbines?

Indeed I was running 165/50's...

Bridgestones too.

UPDATE....

Finally got the finger out and got cracking on with more things.

Day one...

Got the front end off the car and starting dismantling the engine...

Just need to get a spline tool from a mate to get my driveshafts off, then i'll try and take the engine out completly

Will take me a while as I don't have a clue but should get it done with a bit of luck, and some help from my Dad if he's not being a d*ck.

Mean...

Day two...

I knew this was going to be a pain in the rectum but it had to be done.

Started attacking the wirring that has been done by the fricken cowboy chav that had the motor before me.

Its a state. So sorted all that out and took it out the car, along with the ecu etc etc. Took me a good few hours.

Also ripped out the heater matrix....

Chucked out the interior trims and rear seatbelts too, as I wont be having rear passengers :p

From this...

To this...

Alot tider lol... Only wire that's left is for my boot popper.

Day 3...

Attempted to clean the carpet I got... but its pretty bad. :(

Fitted the Mk5 Heater Matrix... was a ball ache. Got there in the end though :)

Decided to test fit the Mk5 dash...

It looks quality... makes me happy!!!

Although, its only really placed in, no brackets or that holding it up.

Can't really remember where they go... Woops.

It's going to be a real pain fitting it all up right. Not as much has doing the wirring though!

Which will need to get done before its bolted in. :( :wtf:

Lowness...

Cheating FTW :p

Did someone say dice caps make you scene haha...

Awesome car mate....just awesome!

maaaaan in my eyes you can do no wrong, all the wheel choices youve done are pure sex, i feel like i know you.. but dont.. not sure if that sounds weird but anyway its coming on real nice mate, those alpines look the bees knees! good luck with the rest of the project :)

Are you able to git a MK5 steering wheel fitted along with the dash? The MK4 ones look so dated in comparison!

best 6n thread I've seen in a while, i wanted those alpine wheels when i saw them!

keep up the good work man

Hahaha... Thanks mate.

Wait till you see the Alpines when I'm finished with them

Yeah I could... but there's no point, my Momo wheel will be going back on, but that's on the Golf the now.

Just jammed on the Mk4 one so I can still steer my car :p

had to look at this again.

with the alpines this is my favourite mk4 on here. porn

HOLY THREAD REVIVAL BATMAN!!!

It's been faaar too long since I last updated this thread.

Sadly too all the folks waiting to see it complete...

In the end I never finished the car as it was going to rape me financially an never had the spare time to work on it. So stripped it down to a bare shell and weighed it in. Sad times

Away it went....

Although all is not doom and gloom. All the plans I had for that one is still going to happen, just on another car! :-D

Bought myself another wee Polo, making it my 3rd one :p

So here's a quick rundown :)

What it looked like when I bought it...

Some people may reconise this from here, some may not. It wasn't the nicest looking thing in the world I can tell you that lol... But I seen past the horrible wheels, bad bodywork etc and knew I could make it good again. Needed a lot of TLC :blink: So I done the usual things when you get a new car, give it a complete clean inside and out. Painted the drums and calipers black as they were red!!! :scared: Replaced missing things on it and tidied it up as much as I could.

Cutting a long story short...

- Ordered new set of coilovers

- Sold the wheels and handles

- Smoked headlights indicators, repeaters

- G60 brakes up front

- New windscreen

- Machine polish

= Boooooom...

Improved so much already... Just needed the right person :)

Then it was time to attack the engine, gave it a service and tidy/change etc...

- Replaced plugs with some Denso Iridium Power Plugs

- Oil change with Mobil Oil and filter

- Magnecor 8mm HT Leads

- Fitted BMC CDA filter

- Full stainless exhaust system plus decat/hidden tailpipe

Then...

- Backseats got removed and replaced with a cage.

- Alpine CD player fitted

- Momo steering wheel

- Audi pedals

- A few 6n2 parts fitted

- etc etc

And how it stands now

More pics...

Went to the Rolling Road day...

Preparation for the rollers, took the bumper off

Apparently it was too low, was resting on the subframe so had to raise it...

Put it back on and it was still too low

So I had to raise it again (wound the threads as high up as possible)

After the 3rd attempt it finally got on...

Results...

Engine Output : 116bhp

Wheel Output : 80.5bhp

Torque : 109 lbf-ft

Happy with that considering it's 100bhp standard and I still hadn't fitted the chipped ECU

Found a rater large hole in my spare wheel well...

Got a plate welded in to sort it. Then undersealed it with two coats and used this sound proofing stuff, applied two coats of that too.

More to come.....

Was time to get the Valver sprayed and all the rust sorted as it was fairly rotten around the arches and sills.

The start.

Arch before work carried out

Ermmm... Was rather fooked!

So new rear arch orderd and welded in...

Mid stage...

Back arches rolled... Lovely! :)

Next problem. Both wings were pretty much gubbed...

So two new ones ordered....

- Rolled

- Side repeaters deleted

- Backs undersealed

Ready to primer...

- Jacking points on sills smoothed

- Seam lines under rear lights welded up and smoothed

Primer stage...

Painted and polished...

There was also more work done but no pics taken.

- Toe eye from rear bumper welded up and smoothed over

- Rear numberplate holders colour coded

- Door handles smoothed and colour coded

Finished article...

Pretty much the whole car was done minus the front bumper, bonnet, roof and tailgate.

Bought one of these bad boys of German ebay...

I like rare things...

Then got my chassis notched by Gordon at G-Wagenz

And I have one of the Hybrid 6n/6n2 bumper that will be going on at some point also...

Will only really be for shows though...

Gearbox then decided to die on me... Good old chocolate boxes :p

So while it was off the road I gave it a wash/polish and pushed it up the drive...

Got my gearbox back from being reconditioned...

Also ordered...

A Sachs Clutch Kit

New powder coated subframe with...

- New gators, seals, cv boots, track rod ends

- Poly bushed all round

- New power steering rack

- Upgraded and thicker ARB with Poly bushes

F YOU gearbox!

Fitted and FINISHED!

Very crappy camera photo but it was rather late at night but you get the general idea

More reflection shots ha....

Changed my clocks...

Gives it a much more modern feel to the car and goes a lot better with my red heater dials and lights switches etc... More 6n2 like :mrgreen:

Raised the front some more too for better handling and to stop scrubbing when brapping about.

Got my Fahvergnugen Tuning chipped ECU fittted... Good noticeable difference :-)

Some pics from the Cleaned UK meet..

Finally got my hands on the seat belts I wanted... Mk5 Polo GTI ones, but the rarer version compared to the bright red ones. These are more subtle and go with my Recaros perfectly! :)

Also bought some carbon inner mirror blanks, nice wee touch to the inside of the car...

Finally got my Alpines back.... Remember they wheels? :p

Well I fitted them for the DC 11.5 show

Pure SEX!

More DC11.5 photos...

Preparations for Edition 2011...

Been wanting to clean up and give the engine bay a 'bling' look too it for a while...

So sourced some piping and silicone hoses for my intake pipe...

Got it all lined up and was happy. Next up... Sprayed the top of my lights black to match the plastic panel...

Rocker cover off to make way for mirror polished one and fitted purple coolant and a 90deg bend hoses :p ...

Painted and fitted alternator...

Finished product ....

It's a shame there's two shades of purple, couldn't find a dark set to match the coolant pipes.

I'll probably get black ones at a later date to break it up or get a nice whole pipe welded up and polished.

And some Rolling shots and Edition38 snaps...

On the stage with the FKinDubs crew...

Couple engine bay shots...

Thanks for the photos guys

The Polo is currently tucked up at my Unit... Took it off the road about October time, too carry out work on it.

Not started yet due to no money or motivation... But will be starting work on it soon though, so expect updates off the progress :-)

Fucking love this car. Strong work.

fucking love this buddy

Damn!!! Looks Illy...Jealous of those smoked indicators.. even pulled off 8.5 on the front..

That's G! :)

This is a brilliant build thread! Good work

Makes me want my valver back

this is really impressive looks so much better than the generic 6n modding. I noticed it at edition aswll and it looked tidy. keep up the good work fella

I NEED a set of them wheels in my life.
