so after a 10 month restoration of my mk1 caddy the polo came off the road and was awaiting the scrap and most of the mods were sold. the polo took a beating during the year i had it on the road after only paying £70 for it. i went through 2 gear boxes, 2 engines, drives shafts, bottom arms, bushes, brakes, sat on coilovers, lowering springs....... it was too much work to put it through mot to sell it i planned on sending it to the scrap yard. i have now decided to bring it back to life..........

bought a set of g60's for it, always liked the look on polo's

as the polo was a SE it was missing its 16v front bumper so i placed a order on eurowagens for one :)

Not a fan of the front bumper/splitter but each to their own, great build so far
