Martin's Wee 6n

Featured Replies

About a year ago i bought this wee VW Polo

90,000 on the clock with a full service history and under £600

Body work is in great shape, just the usual paint fade, scratches etc but nothing a bit of hard graft wouldn't shift. I don't have many pictures yet as after a year I've only started the work on it. Over the coming months a lot of work is going to start so I'll keep this up to date as i can.

Feel free to comment and give me your thoughts :)

After a run in with a fallen tree i decided I'd fit a 16v front bumper, got this free as it needed a little work

More pictures to follow tomorrow :)

Started work on the bumper about a week ago, this is the progress I've made

The plastic wouldn't budge using heat so took the Dremel out and cut away all the bad parts
