Hi all I'm new to club polo and gonna start this build thread, advice and knowlage from people who have done it would be appreciated.

I'm building this for one of my mates as I work for the vag group and have good knowlage of the 1.8t lump from building my own mk4.

The plan is to fit the Cupra engine dash shocks hubs brakes and whole loom into a polo 6n2

Here's some pics of the donor car it's a ex show car Ibiza 1.8t 180bhp mapped to 212bhp already I know that the ibiza runs a mk3 golf front end while using parts that match the 6n2 inside so feel its better then using a golf as a donor car and only cost £500 quid with tax and mot with full seat history along with extensive tsr tuning history. So far we have stripped the unwanted parts off the Cupra and sold them on to make near double the value we paid, so now just waiting for the snow to clear and find a decent 6n2 to use as a base model.

I look forward to seeing updates bud

Also looking forward to updates there will be loads of 1.8T Polos soon.

I will keep them updated as much as possible hoping it will be done by the summer if not earlier it's quite hard to find a non rusty dented 6n2 aswell but we have a few lined up to view when we can drive with out snow lol

Here's few pics of my other vags and my glanza v project hope you guys like

My old 276bhp mk4 fully rebuilt from ground up using all genuine parts

My misses mk4 1.8t just has the 18s, lowerd and n75 n n259 removel an a miltec

My old polo gti 180 turbo supercharged it's now in Taunton some where

And here's my latest project have gone jap it's a glanza v turbo with a fair few expensive parts and mods atm

ah nice! saw the cupra on ebay not long ago! Was thinking of having it for a similar conversion

Look forward to seeing progress! :)

How much was it on eBay for? I got it off some local person he did not have it long And did not know all the parts that were on it lol

Since the snow has gone its time to crack on we are off to pick this up Saturday then Sunday it will be bare Shell ready to swap Cupra parts onto.

i look forward to seeing this

shame to cut up a clean looking ibiza shell with a disc cutter tho

I'm shore the is someone out there that will be intrested in byeing it to reshell there crashed damaged ibiza

Some one got hit on the side in there Ibiza cupra and the driver drove off so I offered to cut the sill off and sell him that with the skirts to keep his on the road

Well picked the polo up today and took it to the work shop tomorrow's plan is strip the polo to bare shell and start the engine swap should have a fair few pictures Tomos of what we have done

you got any pictures of progress ?

Today we went out for a hour as had crap weather but got front end off and all the bits off the polo ready to drop engine out, and strip interior n put cupra dash in it next weekend also sold the rest of the Ibiza parts we don't need if any one needs a aud engine or 1.4 gearbox let me know £100 for engine and £90 for box we stuck the battery on the Cupra and fired it up n still runs with hardly anything connected

out of interest, what was up with the cupra? seems a shame to have stripped it

Looks good mate! Alot of people are doing it Olly with caddy vans and polo estates etc as its straight swap engine mounts line up etc swap the dash steering wheel all wiring etc over and cheap as chips 1k tops and its just time and space to do it as above :)

Id much rather have had the cupra than the polo

Gorgeous cars they are.

thats why i was asking

The reason why is cause my mate wants a 1.8t polo cause he loves polos that's it the Cupra was just a doner car that was needed and happened to be local weather you lot feel its a nice car or not to me or my mate its a shell that carrys a heart to another car :)

Plus the Cupra was cheap and doubled the profits from selling the crap that was bolted to it lol

Went up to do a hour on the polo, we got have took engine out and test fitted the weitec coilys from the cupra

Hopefully the crap weather stops soon so can crack on

nice progress there dude! fingers crossed it wont snow anymore then... haha

Now the snows gone we have just had non stop rain I know it's under shelter in a barn but the wind is bad to lol next time we go up we're cleaning the bay right up taking the rusty bonnet off then painting the bay black along with cupra engine as its having yellow hoses and rocker cover
