Originally posted on polo3, figured I'd get involved in club polo too, so I'm pretty much copying my build thread over from there.

I recently purchased my second car from a friend of mine, a 1994 coupe. It needs some TLC as he thought he was a racing driver and abused the poor thing.

I picked the car up it has harnesses and bbs RS's on it.

It is also already lowered 60/40 I believe, but has scope to be lowered a bit more... However the wheels scrub awfully at the moment, so arch rolling or skinnier tyres need to be sorted out.

When I picked it up!

It has an old shirt duct taped over the air intake, so that was quickly changed as it cannot of been doing the car any justice, this was one kicking around, but will do for now.

Here is a picture of the harnesses... Not sure if I like them. But they hold me in nicely until i source some seatbelts.

Next I popped a bonnet bra on there... I know there is a lot of commotion about them, but I like them.

Yesterday it was nice and sunny and I had the day to myself.

Figured I'd make a start on cleaning the engine bay as it probably hadn't been cleaned over 18 years...

Got about 60% of it done, still a lot of work to do...

Got hold of some bose 3.5 inch speakers for the dashboard, and some custom made holes in the footwell. Bringing some sound into the car as it had none in it at all! It was awful driving around with no option to listen to anything...

But after a few hours of tinkering I got it all wired up successfully!

I've made the aux cable look a lit tidier too... Otherwise it would keep getting tangled in the gear stick... Not so much fun. :Driver:

Currently wait on pay day and the new additions shall be going in ASAP.

Been a busy weekend! Sort of...

Went to my girlfriends and the exhaust fell off, oh joy! (no pics!) managed to get it back up with a little help from the lady in Tesco... She had some rope handy...

Then on the Sunday I started making the boards to panel out the back of the car! Will be more useful to store stuff in :)

And I have just ordered some GT clocks with the rev meter! rarely come up on ebay!

All coming together slowly... Hopefully I'll be off of my apprenticeship wage soon!

Okay time for a big update... However several beers have been consumed! So forgive me...

So the new gt40 clocks that I ordered arrived, so that I can swap them over. Overall it was a success, however took me quite a while to get them out in the first place!

I also put some clear indicators and side repeaters in, looking much smarter on the front now!

One of my friends messing around with a fish eye lens...

Finally got the cow print finished... Sort of, need to get the flooring sorted. But not sure how to go about it... Anyone have any suggestions?

Then decided to respray my bumpers and trims.

Looks much nicer. :)

Got some class B&Q's own limnate flooring in the back for now. however we managed to chip a corner off when having a load of stuff in the back. Not too impressed.

Got Perry some new shoes for a steal off a local guy on ebay. 14" ATS cup replicas.

Headgasket was giving me greif, so off too my local mechanic, who is a bit of a dub head.

Splitter for fun

Got smashed off pretty quickly...

Bonet lifters, took a good few hours, but sussed out how to fit them eventually.

Found a cheap bumper on ebay, went and picked it up for £5... Figured I'd try something new and smooth it over, took a hell of a lot of body filler, however I am worried it'll just crack? Has anyone had any experience with this?

Haven't nearly finished it though, need more filler! ... And time.

Slammed it 100mm on the back, pretty snug.

Went out with a few mates to Hastings... For a lovely wet and windy day by the sea. Blergh.
