hello all, been on here a while. so bout time i started a little thread. :-D

cant find out how to upload photo's, did see a thread once but cant find it so hopefully a link straight to my photobucket should work.

anyway, i got my R reg 1.0L polo back in october, first car in the photo bucket you can see it standard ride hight on some alloys. first things i did was service it, full service history upto 96k, then owned by a mechanic upto its 108k of today, 3 owners from new. i then sprayed up the alloys, a kind of orange colour and put it on 40mil lowering springs(another photo off it on springs and new colour wheels) shortly after some coilovers come up on ebay very cheap very close, brand new, so i quickly snapped them up :-) i then lowered her on them, next things i did was painted my tatty bonnet black with black board paint (quite cool to write on with chalk). shes now on G60 steels (looking to sell) got myself some 6n2 rears and 16v bumpers in process off prep.

planns to do :

get 16v bumpers finished

re do my headlining

find some nice seats

look more into a valver conversion

tidy up the body work (one bad arch)

hope you all enjoy, and hope to find out how to upload photo's

headlining done + refitted, forgot to get pics. clear front indicators + bonnet bra fitted. new riimage trailed too. all photos in my bucket

wish someone would show me how to upload them straight on here

All the photos have a box next to them on photobucket saying HTML code etc etc click the link inside the box that copy image and paste it into the comment box on here it's the bottom one out of the 4 links I'm on my phone so best I can do to help at the moment.

Best of luck and get the photos up

If you click the IMG code it will automatically copy the link, then just post it in your post.

Good to see you received the clear indicators OK!

thinking off either getting the car resprayed. cant really affor it, but i can save. either that or do a paint job myself instead. matt or satin. a matt purple or cream? what do people think?

You could probably leave the paint job til last and get it sitting properly first? I made this mistake before

I'm changing the wheels i think 13s are to hard to pull off on 6Ns. the roads are shocking round here too. so looking into some 14" prob 15"s :-)

Clutch has gone! Mot's out soon. Needs a few things etc so I'm having her off the road as abit of a project. Bigger engine, sort the bodywork etc.

Just a quick note I'm pretty sure your pressed plates are illegal.

Should have the required BSAU145d number & manufactures details (name and postcode, usually at the bottom in small in the centre and the BSA number is usually at the bottom right again small).

Thought id let you know so you could get them sorted before its back on the road :)

Na I think they are mate. Their are numbers stamped in them small. If you look at the pictures you can see them one lot in the top right. They should be anyway as the ebay shop I bough them off Guaranteed they were 100% legal. They'd surely be in a lot of trouble otherwise :-s. But I'll double check they are! Cheers for the heads up though mate!

change of plan. did my clutch today! what was left

whilst on the ramp i also cleaned off and stone chipped the underside and arches off my car for extra protection, looks smart too!

Mot'd today, Wheel bearing and windscreen needed! quite chuffed with that :-) but as it got on the pit, went to start it again. seems like the ignition switch has packet up -_- so I've wired in a sexxy button for a start! haha photo's up later!

My Start Button HA! in the drivers glove compartment at the mow, but plan to put in dash when i get my black one in :-)

A photo of my car in mot mode! haha munt

A photo off her stranded outside mine...clutchless

My new workspace, excited to have a nice place of my own :-)

next plans are to roller paint the car ( love it or hate it ) its what I'm doing :-) got some body work to do, just waiting for a few more bits to come then crackin' on! cant waaaaaait. Also in the other car I'm breaking is a black interior, dash, door cards, parcel shelf supports, carpet etc. Plaan to swap that over! got a week off work so their is no excuse!!

Comments Very Welcome :-)

New Windscreen, set me back £110 :-) which i thought was good!

Whats everyone thinking off a polo this colour?

what does everyone think of these....? weighting up the car colour change, the wheels probaly go another colour tooo...

Ps still in MOT mode, before anyone says more lows hah!

Edited 19 September, 201213 yr by alexgtifleming

Isn't that colour a primer? I'd say keep the paint it has at the moment just wash it and them wheels would look nice on it (in silver/brown/black) don't like neon colours.

yep it is, but looks wicked...Body Works pretty bad, so thats the alternative

Actionplan updates :

- Tidy up body work, arches after being flaired etc

- prep car up for theme'd paint job (undecided)

- thinking of turning into a van. going to tint windows for a while and if i 100% for it il get the windows out and metal in.

- Get smooth 16v and 16v bumper finished + on

- refurb the sebrings

-fit new tyres to the sebs

-wind the coils back down

-fit new exhaust system

-cambelt and waterpump

ALL to shortly follow
