Today i had time for the polo :-D

I replaced the passenger quarter glass and got all the seals sitting tight. hopefully the rain and water will PISS OFF now :lol:

I then drove the car down to our garage and popped it on a ramp ready for the ARB blocks.

Next up is the sound system with a lovely little 8" flat sub under the passengers seat ;)

Good stuff! Whats it handle like now with the blocks?

I really have no idea haha i have lots of loos bolts and screws in the car at the moment as the door cards are off on the passengers side and there is no passenger seat.

It felt a lot more harsh on the little bumps though :) cant wait until i have the car back together and the strut brace on the front top mounts :D will be chucking him around like a nimble go kart hopefully.

You've got them the wrong way round!!

Just kidding ;) , you should notice its a lot more sharp whilst diving into corners now. Looking awesome though, good progress.

So its been a little wile since the last proper update but here we go :-D

First things first was to look under my rear passenger arch trim as i had noticed bubbling there a wile back and (stupidly) just ignored it.

post-92584-1360443079.jpg SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock::puke:

So at this point i was quite literally crying :crybaby: I have no skill with paint/welding/cutting.

I took the car to my buddy Julian who runs Torbay car hospital and worked a deal with him. 1 week later and we were good as new :)

Being the legend that Julian is he took photos all the way through the process as he knew i was doing the build thread.

dangerous! lol

Na I'm not dead yet :lol:

no worries mate if it was me i would get them sorted as if for some reason the spring unseated it self ( not saying it will but for some unnone reason :lol: ) it would smash against your tyre as the only thing stopping the spring it is the shocker tube houseing and not the raised bit on seat on the spring plate if you get what i mean ? thats the main reason its there.

rather give my opinion that it happening
