Rusty Spoon! 1.4 16v

Featured Replies

First of all Hello to every one on here.

Been into my VW's for a while now pasted cars include Mk3 Golf 1.4 ratted, Corrado 16v, Golf MK3 estate aka camo wagon and my on going project Corrado VR6 with a 24v conversion.

On Wednesday I done a swap with my mk3 estate for a Polo 6n which I have noq called the Rusty spoon, some of you will like it but no doubt most of you will hate it, either way I love driving it and its quite nippy for such a small engine.

Quite well kitted out too with air con, sun roof, front electric windows. Longlife exhaust system, coilovers all round and its "unique" exterior.

any way enough talking for now here are some photos of the beast

Got a few little problems I need to solve, speedo not working, gearbox needs changing (doesnt stay in 5th and pops out of revers), Throttle body needs replacing as well as rear abs sensor needs cleaning up. So will be doing some research and looking into the problems. No doubt asking for some advice.

Life is too short to drive boring cars :D

It dont bother me dude ;)

Each to their own and its not meant to be taken seriously. Plus it just a bit of fun for me to drive around in and not worry about too much. It helps keeps the miles off this thing and is cheaper to run

I know it's ment to be ratty and all but even with a decent Matt black paint job, and all the stuff that's on it now it would look 10times better with some shinny wheels too Aha, fair play, expect to see some good changes to this! Fingers cross aha

Good luck!

Cheers dude. Some wheels are defo in the pipe line at some point. Plus I dont know if I'm going to stick with the whole rusted look may head down a different route when the novelty wears off

Defo liking the passenger front Wing tho that's cool, just a thought should use all the Maccies monoplys and sticker boom it ;)
