I really don't know what to do about the wheels tbh, i've messaged briscoe to see if he still has my old cults for sale, got feeling the offsets on those might suit this a lot better but we shall see

bandies!!

Looks sweet in the second pic mate!

Give us more!

Not really much to give mate, the sill is pretty much done and I've started fitting one of the headlights although some modification is needed. Just been a bit busy with other stuff atm, gti fest is just around the corner and need to get the polo ready to attack the strip again :lol:

Work will commence on this again shortly tho and I think I have the wheel situation sorted as soon as funds allow 8-)

...that is if I can refrain from crashing into anymore cars once I've saved up the cash for them again :lol:

Still looking for silly lows yeah, think I may have found a solution to my problem of not being able to find cheap coilovers to fit it too

Edited by Mclovin

I kinda talked myself into putting this up for sale earlier, I don't 'have' to but the money from this would probably buy me most of the stuff I need to charge the polo. If I don't sell this then any money I spend on it is money I'm not spending on the polo, I could just chuck this back in the lock up and forget about it till I finished the polo but without a decent cash injection I can't go much further on the polo anyway.

Really not sure what to do, guess it comes down to if I don't sell this then its gonna be at least next year till the polo is done, if I do sell this I could possibly have the polo charged by the polo show, but I know I won't be able to find another 2 door chevette and the more I look at it the more I don't wanna get rid

Just to make any decision that little bit harder I finally got round to fitting one of the early headlights

Please don't sell it. Even if you've lost heart, hide it somewhere dry until budget allows. You'll very unlikely find another.

That's the thing tho I haven't lost heart, far from it infact. It's just I know that if I sold this I could have the polo done this year and the thought of driving an eatoned 16v polo to the polo show this year is very appealing :lol:

But then I keep looking at this and I know full well i'll always regret selling it

you know il help you with the eaton mate- youll be impressed when tou see what I've got done on the olop, soon mate you should get a spare afh block and head- get it on my engine stand and we can start making all the brackets to mount the charger, save some time so all you have to do is sort the internals and your away!

Yes I know Ben :lol:

Cheers kiz 8-)

Thinking I might not even need to sell this now as I forgot I had the other mk2 polo to sell :lol:
