Hey Dude, yes that was me!

Got a Corrado now, just had it MOTd and will be driving it as soon as my GT is sold! Look forward to a spin in yours!

Fair play mate! Loved your gt though..

I'll look forward to seeing you and the new motor!

Bit of an update, just bought some golf coilovers modded to fit a polo for the front and some mk1 rear coilovers got a mint condition glove box aswell and cleaned all the interior, I also have a new headlining to put in, anyone know anything about the headlining? Also after some new wings and flare the arches a little because mind are f**ked, some reason after fitting arb blocks my wheels scrape the arch so bad on the front, I'll take it for lazer allotment after fitting the new coilovers, hopefully sort it out,

Thanks for reading

Wow!!
Yellow! Just great. Simply awesome, mate!

Thanks mate!

Looks sweet

Thanks man it'll look better on the stops of my new coilovers ahaha

Haha fair play

Hopefully over the Christmas time off I can either get on the lift or driveway tune my front end converting the cv joints and stuts for mk1 golf ones to fit my coilovers, the back I will need to be on the lift fitted my rear axel on the floor before.. Not fun

I have so many bits to put on widened and flatted out my new wings so now scrubbing but after trying to test wings on the car found out there a fair but of rust and the wings have never been removed factory sealers still holding them on, bonus? Also took a great delivery off stinky Pete so my car should be running a lot better on a set of bike carbs,

Also collected some near mint condition rubbers for the doors and windscreen off runforestrun a true gent,

But on the way home from doing a few lifts the clutch cable snapped.. 2 days before the mot runs out.. Fuck it always let's me down when I need it. Problems with running an old car I guess!

Oh well nothing hard to change I should get that done in the next week,

Cheers for reading

Clutch cables snap after 20 odd years mate I hope you get this in bike carbs :)

Yeah I know I was pissed off last night mot runs out tomorrow haha it's fine, the carbs should be here this week I'll order the silicone hose that's all I need I have the rest at home, should be alright trying to get round the vac advance ahah

Before and after, fitted new rubbers and door check strap foams

Car failed it's mot, on welding, again haha that's all sorted then driving home my alternator belt snapped. Everything goes at once! Haha atleast all my parts for my bike carb conversion have arrived

All welded up passed it's mot, taking a 3hour drive to go meet stinky Pete for some bits done,

Few bits to slap on

That engine bay is amazing. Wish I have mine like that. I need to get some courage (and money) to get the engine bay of mine Polo real clean and simple.

I want to pant the bay grey, I think it'll go better than metallic blue haha

Still got a leaking rocker cover fucking hell

Going to get these powder coated later, I'm thing red subframe and gearbox mount and a black oil catch can

Stinky Pete's subframe, looks great feels good, but a c**t to fit ahah,

It's on now after Abu of beating about but for a prototype it's sweet! Just got to wait till I get another few dry days then I can fit my coilovers and rear beam!

About 70mm to the floor, with the car lowered 70/40

Haven't really driven the polo much, I fitted coilovers to stop my clunking and banging well that's stopped but the coilovers I fitted have fucked wheel bearings that I wasn't told about previous, and it's seemed to be fine when I checked them all over, also after fitting them they were way out steering was horrendous so I had it optilined, and found out the caster angle is out side to side, after abit of pondering and speaking to a few people I fitted a new arb and blocks and it seems to be all good, just trashing it about at the weekend then it cuts out, and carried on all the way home.. Every time I over come something it's something else! But hopefully I'll have the carb set up Monday and it will be alright,
