£1300 result !!

its been repaired by an absoloute monkey , the engine mounts were finger tight , the paint looks like stonechip and no airbags were replaced

but , i got it throught its m.o.t. with just 2 droplinks

will get pics of the seat up asap

the plan will be to swap the entire engine, loom , brakes, dash, seats e.t.c. from the ibiza into the polo

hopefully most of it should swap straight in without to much bother

Please can I ask what size are the d90s front and rear? Size of tyres and adapters also thanks for help
