hi all i haven't posted anything since i first got my polo (6n 1.0l) about 8 months ago. tbh i haven't done anything up until recently apart from stickering up the front passenger side wing.

anyways woke up early this mornin (on my day off) and went round my mate callums house to go to pick him up to mish to church-stretton skate park and thought it would be a good idear to smooth my bootlid before we left. I've been wantin to do it for ages but haven't got round to it.

callum is currently doin up a nova saloon so he had all his welder and grinder and stuff already out so it was just a case of doin it.

plans for the car:

gloss army green with gloss black roof

clear indys

sprayin the rears lights all red

coilovers

having the interior done in mexican fabrics

anyways ennuf chattin heres some pics

callum cuttin up plate to fit

already cut out and had done the badge recess before i started takin photos

gettin ready to tack it

callum puttin a tack in whiile i hold it in place

me spot welding the plate in

handle plate welding finished and grinded

badge recess plate welded in and grinded

all fillered still needs another skim and sand before the prima goes on but il do that on the weekend

next there was the problem of how to temporaraly open the boot until i get a solanoid kit

peace of string with the rear badge tied on to it, tied on to the realeas lever and a hole drilled in the plastic inner boot bit.

il post a couple of pics of his nova how it stands atm

stripped and in the middle of being painted

what u all think i know its not finnished yet but atleast its a start

i appolagize for spellin in advance (dislexic)

peace

Nice to see your getting stuck in yourself ..

Keep up the work .

good start and plans sound promising, that nova looks like its getting somewhere

cheers guys

yeah I'm gonna start buying tins of paint everyweek and do abit moar on it

yeah the pics of the nova arent very good as we had to roll it in the garage so the welder would reach the back of my car but it looks sick when hes got all the pannels on it its lowered 60 at the front and he's got the springs to lower the back 50 but he needs to get under it so its got mad rake at the mo.

peace

hey all a small update have finnished smoothing my boot and the first coat of prima is on. have also dewipered the boot.

peace

tom

you need to get some more filler in there mate and use a long block to get the shape a bit better. As soon as the colour's on that you're going to see the lack of shape. where you've de-handled it and the fact that it's the wrong shape where it's been de-badged.

cheers for the tips dude il get to work on it tommoro

small update and a few cool cars i saw today :)

my mate got these from a scrappy the other day for £40 he said hel sell em for £50 so I'm savin up (student so only get £30 a week and £10 of that goes to my grandad cuz he paid for my repairs for the mot) there 13" by 5.5" and there off some old vauxhall
