couldnt you repair it??

i spent a few days thinking about it but if i did it would never be 100%

shame cause it was a pretty mint car (expect grill) so I'm just saving for a new 1 :-)

so the old storm grey got sent to the scrappy and after a bit of saving i picked up my next polo for £300

was pink when i first got it but after a lot of polishing it came out pretty good

when i got it home i quickly put my coilies and wheels on (sorry for pic size)

my mate who had a red valver got it written off me and a mate stripped it off the engine and bumpers. haven't got any pics of the engine change as off yet though but it took two solid days to do

thats it for the time being. have got my buckets with my home made subframes but will get pics of the as soon as i take them
