003-4.jpg this was it when i bought it

001-1.jpg since this pic the interior has been tidyed up and the bolster on drivers seat repaired, i will eventually paint/detail the dash

001-2.jpg as previous owner painted it at least 4 times in aerosole paint i had to sand it all off as i did not want any reaction or flaking when i put on the 2k primer, i had to weld in a new rear arch plate the sill, the tailgate handle was smoothed with a bit of plastic and silicone sealer and filler so i tapped that out and welded it up, I've rolled all 4 arches ready for the deep dish wheels, smoothed the wing repaters, filled/smoothed side grilles on bumper and numberplate recess

189.jpg i primed it yesterday in 2k primer and am so happy now the body is all 1 colour i really regretted buying the car at first but I'm alot happier with it now

190.jpg i painted the wheels and roof in black aerosole just 4 now as i really did not like the red

191-1.jpg had to get some pressed plates ideal finishing touch to any car ..not that mines finished

I'm debating on what colour to do it as the recaro colour concept seats have green centers I'm going to work around that colour,as its a open air model I'm gunna do front n sides of roof black defo, but not sure on shell colour I'm either thinking white or bright green, but would like to hear other peoples opinions as long as they r not offensive........ I'm going to be lowering it alot more deep dish wheels, camber, de badge grille etc ,the engine bay will also be as clean as the outside

017.jpgthis is my last polo i miss her so much,

Looks a completely differant car, well done mate :D

Dont mean to sound picky or anything but in this pic your offside rear arch looks wonky at the front? has it feen flared ready for dish or something? it just looks abit umm ''unround'' lol

lol yes u r picky ...its been rolled and it was rusty so i had 2 weld a few plates in as I'm a tightass n didnt wanna pay 4 a new arch , tbh i dont notice it that much ....just glad it dusnt look like wen i bpought her

Good transformation mate, looks like a different car!

Only thing i dont like is the smoothed grills on the front bumper, other than that it looks good

I was intrigued as to what it was, wether it had been repaired or widened. youve done all the work yourself and youve done a bloody good job by the looks of it so hats off for that :D

cheers mate yeah I've done it all myself..still loads more to come
