Massive shame about your mishap dude and hopefully won't be much work to sort the ol' girl out as shes a beaut! Love it! Ashame about the Fastback having to go too! If the Polo comes out even half as hawt as the beetle it's gonna rock!

Fastback went today Gave it to the guyus over at T3D/T2D so hopefully it will be of some use to them :-)

It does mean that with my new found garage space i can start work on the polo (just need to pick so bits up this weekend) Paint and suspension are first on the list of jobs

Then the Beetle can be moved into the garage to have the front end stripped down/cut off and the repair work can begin :-D

that Beetle is purely off the chain.

love it.

I'm actually in love with your beetle, is tempting me to get one so much

that Beetle is purely off the chain.

love it.

8-)

When she's back on the road its going to be a little bit lower :-D

some more of the polo sitting stock... some changes to be made in the next few days!

Bit more info on the polo aswell

Bought it of a mate in Shoe County for £50 with tax n test, now got 12 months test which cost a total of £30 in bits (free MOT) bought a few bits for it and some paint to

I'm not a fan of Fuchs have got some nice steels to go on might see about getting the rears banded

Progress has been made with the bug! :-D not much but it all helps

Spent half hour before it started raining

Scrapped a hole through the bottom of the spare wheel well

The Crack in the inner wing (o/s)

How i left her, looking a bit sad for herself

New stuff arrived today ;D

Not beetle parts... but hopefully being able to find my tools when i need them should speed everything up

Gota love sale stuff, specialy when you get the top half free ;D

more photoz and progress pretty damn soon fucking cold out tho

think iv got a picture of your mates beetle, this the same one?

and your beetle is pure sick, i would kill for my car to be that low

Yeah dude, thats my mates Bug, it generaly looks slightly different at each show so it gets hard to keep track of it

Running this low is pretty awesome fun and you get alot of attention when your leaving sparks just things are more likely to break

such a rusty bug.... i hate rust -_-.nevertheless the bonnet is n1.

Yeah it looks like hitting that railroad crossing has damaged your car a fair bit. Your a fool if you want to go lower IMHO. Looks like you have majorly damaged an already rusty car.

Does look awesome though, but not worth wrecking an old beetle for.

I hate rust too... proper rust seizes nuts and make holes in things, thats only very light surface rust so by the time i get round to painting the whole car i still won't have anything to worry about :-D

Cheers tho dude, the bonnet needs to be redone faded a bit now and flaking in places

Its done a fair amount of damage to panels that needed replacing anyway so I'm not to bothered, would have been nice if it hadn't happened but i knew it'd be off the road for a while soon

I prefer Mad to fool

Progress has finaly been made with the polo, after a friend drove past it without seeing it when they were trying to find a house i was at, they point out it just looked like a normal car... which was true

So today i finaly got round to fitting some springs i bought a while ago off here :-D

Track rod end was foobared so cut it off... then had to fight with the rust n dirt that had built up to get the new one on... Heat n WD40 is generally the answer

Photos of the effect later tonight =D

Had to go Morrisons... good excuse for a few photos in the closest place to daylight i could find... the underground carpark

:-)

Fancied doing somthing today so got the box with my new rear shocks n springs out from under the bed and got to work!

after reading a few guides for lowering polos all round that say you need spring compressors and at some points 2 people, i can confirm are wrong! :)

New spring (40mm drop) vs old stock hieght spring...

Spare set of rear 70's just incase

old ones

Fitted...

more photoz tomorrow after a small road trip ;D

i was tempted for that passat,very nearly had it

Not bad for 500 notes :-D

needs a few little bits doing but the service history is amazing... every MOT from new and i imagine every recipt for all the work done judging by the huge folder of paperwork that came with it!

Gota get the front end of the Polo a bit lower now the back has come down... either top caps or a coil off the spring :-)

yeah thats what interested me,saw it on e-bay then found it on pistonheads

my bready is same,think a coil be coming off the front!

Update time... once I've got the bug done I've got some more plans for the polo :-D

got the car sitting level on the stupidly uneven drive, a few hours with a spirit level, 3 jacks, 8 axels stands and it done :tu stopping for :chill break didn't help getting it done tho... :lol

and the bits collected so far... see if you can geuss what the plan is

cutting good metal out just doesn't feel right :lol

I knew beneath a previous owners dodgey patches on the front would be bad but.... :eek

Got a nice new panel to replace the rust

also this turned up the other day

more cutting due to a previous owner welding repair patches over the top of rust

cleaned up and zinc primed (done a bit moere tidying since this photo)

cut another hole :eek

picked up my beam too... its had a 4" chop... nearly went for 6" :lol

oh and i spent fooook loads on this...
