So i brought a polo last august for £50, the car had been left in an old womans driveway for 2 years without any attention at all so wasnt in the best of conditions.

Unfortuantley the rear arches had rusted and the paintwork had seriously faided, but it wasnt anything that couldnt be fixed. However with only 20,000 miles on the clock i could not turn the little gem down and besides, if it was useless it was worth more than that in scrap value.

At first i just wanted to use the car as a run around, but it wasnt long before i found myself looking into coilovers and wheels etc.

About two weeks before UD i ordered some coilovers and refurbed a set of alloys and the £50 polo project began!

Like a noob i broke my old phone so dont have any photos of when i first got the car in its original state, only after it had a Tcut but it still looked poo.

The car once i got it home and Tcut http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o628/b...23/IMAG0014.jpg
