STFU!!!

all i need to do now is mot it. but I'm skint so i cant...

So why not do other stuff if i have the stuff i need to do it with already? lol.

I'd be wasting more time doing it the other way

Not this month.

Not just MOT though is it dude. That was just a point. Try insuring it and taxing it too....

It will be onm the road as soon as i can, I'm done wasting time. Why do you think i bought this? I didnt buy it to fanny around turning it into a project.

Next payday, (literally the day i get paid) it will be booked in for an mot, insured on the morning then driven from the mot place to the postoffice. Couldnt get much quicker than that really

Providing it passes the MOT that is.

Well, i said I'd document the costs of this to see how cheaply it can be done. Soo...

Car - £100

Scirocco GT2 seats and Genesis rear bench - £40

Pair of TCA's and a headlight switch - £15

Suspension - £free

Working heater resistor - £free

MDF boarding n shit for the back - £free

JBL front dash speakers - £15

Total - £170

Hopefully I'll get some + figures in there from selling bits of it that i don't need :)

where did you get the lowering top caps from? loooking goood though chap!

Got them off of PhilJ years back.

Get it on the bloody road already :p that was the whole purpose of buying it!

Then you mess about and "pretend rat" it

read ffs Tom

I may aswell tat with it as its gunna be sat for 3 weeks not doing anything till i can afford to get it on the road lol.

Definitely lop another coil off the front.

I'd actually love to.

But lets just say.. the spring is welded in as it erm, wobbles when the car is lifted (this will fail an mot) lol

And when i say wobble, like an inch+ of movement up and down

a bit red neck, but cable tie it :)

Does phil J still sell them? if not do you know where else i can buy them?

Weld it in top and bottom, just hope it doesn't break

Bottom is cable tied, tops welded though

And he doesn't i don't think, no. But i do know a man with some

I'll find out if he still has um for sale and PM you, you at poloshow?

Excellent, yeah pm me asap nah wont b going any shows this year :( gutted.

I'm liking the progress on this

This is what a 80mm kit, with lowering topcaps and 2 coils off looks like at the front

I'd say, its pretty perfect.

Big tyres dont help, rubs on the inner arch when turning over bumps etc. Looks pretty sick though I'd say.

what profile are those tyres ?

mine are 155/70 and looks lower than that.

best pic i have

hmmmm

Its a good idea this toby, just don't get too involved in it or your coupe will take even longer :p

The tyres are disgusting profiles

145/80

Gave the steels a 1st coat of hammerite just, ran out now though so will get the 2nd coat done tomorrow.

This arrived today...

:lol:

I'll see if someone can guess what it is aha. Its something thats missing off one of the doors, some of you anal buggers may have noticed it.

Is it the bit of trim/ vinyl off the drivers door b pillar?

If so, why is it in a box saying black dildo, you sure you haven't uploaded the wrong picture?

Its just what you do when your cool

Its just what you do when your cool

Why's Toby done it then...

It's gotta be from Volkswagen stickers with a tag like that

Pillar trims and plate tub?

he's a class A faffer is our toby.

If anyone can string useless jobs out with no real progress. Its toby lol

I didnt pay for the pillar trim

I was like 'yo Dan, you got an odd one of these?' he said yeh, then i said how much etc to which i had no reply, then this arrived

I'm paying for the postage though so all is good.

Not asif i coulda MOT'd the car with the money for that sticker is it

And I'd say this is moving a LOT quicker than the other polo ever has haha.

And what substantial update are you waiting for Ben? There's nothing more happening to it besides it going on the road..... And i wont go through all that again ffs

Like what though? haha

I've had other shit to deal with this month I'm afraid, not every single penny i earn can go on blasted cars.

As awesome as that would be, its never going to happen.

Black and pink? i think you should fuck off and die!

Haha, your such a frustrated sole aren't you toby

Lighten up you grouch :-D

He is one mardy little man. I would be if i had two peice of shit cars

Haha, only messing tuby!
