vw polo breadvan

Featured Replies

This is my little breadvan (betsy). I bought her at the end of 2011 with chopped springs and just looking and handling a bit worse for wear. In the time iv had her iv fitted coilovers, almost a full respray, got the roof chequered, induction kit, custom stainless steel exhaust, 2 petrol tanks (after a small bump in the road made it 'fall' out), pressed plates, yellow fog lights, front splitter, polished the wheels up, slammed a tone of camber on the rear wheels and a lot lot more. Oh ye and about 5 new sets of tyres....
I bought the car for my first car just for a cheep run around for a year or so but very quickly realised she had so potential. I was thinking about ratting her up but saw there are so many ratted breadys about so I just slowly turnt her into a 'show car'.
So now over £3500 later I have a much loved Vw polo bready!

Here are some of the many pictures I got from the year and a half iv had her... Enjoy
