Sorry mate, not a chance. Send a transporter up for it and fair enough

Has it got any Tax on it? and I presume it is driveable?

Good to see a well priced Polo for a change :thumbsup: I take my hat off to you sir.

This is all from the top of my head but i owned the car for about 18 months.

I put the gt engine and gear box in, bought it off a lad on here, and it had recent cambelt, waterpump, clutch, i changed the oil and filter every 3k in my ownership, had recent plugs (genuine) and all filters was also fitted with an early poloace chip and pulled like a gt should :).

And i also fitted the following parts

Trackrod end (wasnt convinced this was the right one so left it for the new owner change)

Rear wheel cylinders and shoes

2 new TCA`S

Polybushed front tca`s and anti roll bar

VW II calipers with new front flexis

Corrado seats with new seat runner guides.

Thermostat with fresh G12+

Full brake fluid change

I put about 3 sets of top mounts on it as they kept collapsing

Recent shock and spring kit as the old shocks was leaking

New rear wheel bearings

Had a petrol flap sprayed up because the old one was rotten

New genuine blue temp sensor

New leads dizzy cap and rotor arm

Thats all i can think of atm but i looked after it well.

As for mods i put k&n panel filter on it, G40 exhaust mani with genuine decat downpipe, dewedged throttebody, full stainless exhaust.

It went on the rollers at awesome for 3 power runs which made around 90-91 bhp.

Thats just about it off the top of my head dude, but hope this helps the sale and someone else enjoys it as much as i did.

PS is the pink tow strap still behind the towing eye cover.

Hopefully sold to me! Fingers crossed the guy looking before me doesnt have it!

Sold to me !

Back for sale again!

Now has a suspect headgasket failure, all 4 cylinder are full of water and thermostat housing is cracked.

The shell is in too good condition to be scrapped!

Perfect candidate for another engine swap ir even just repairing the current engine,

Will have to be trailered away!

£350 takes it!
