swap for mk2 polo?

I'm so tempted but I'm afraid I really need the cash not another car... have just insured, taxed and MOT'ed my T3 syncro, not cheap!

swap for mk2 polo?

ok mate no worries if you change your mind polo is mot'ed till oct lowerd on shocks and springs golf mk1 spliter loads of bits on it just has a cracked window screen

Now with brand new clutch and brake pads.

Some updated photos of the car after doing a bit of remedial bodywork and giving it a much needed wash.

I've pushed the dent in the drivers door out from the inside and it looks much better, but obviously not perfect and there is damage to the paintwork:

Other side of the car in pretty good shape, but this shows the extent of the knackered front valance. The spare has had a couple of topcoats with a VW rattle can, so colour match should be pretty good. It just needs lacquering which I will try and do if I get time:

Also an interior shot after giving it a good clean out:
