Looking a bit sorry for its self!

post-76825-0-19240600-1380820159_thumb.j

So first off she was in need for some new shoes!!

After a few days of searching for wheels I found some that

Could look different and sick at the same time!

And then a few days after that.. Look what the post man delivered

post-76825-0-38083500-1380823111_thumb.j

So now I had to get them sitting right!

post-76825-0-97894700-1380823217_thumb.j

Harder than it looks haha

post-76825-0-16478600-1380823189_thumb.j

Can't wait to put tyres on now

post-76825-0-23168300-1380823202_thumb.j

So the polo does need a few bits tidying and spraying

I got down to the local paint seller

And decided that the colour coded front grills need

To be gloss black! It came to Saturday and I got on and done a few bits and bobs

post-76825-0-48960400-1380823715_thumb.j

Primed the front grills

post-76825-0-22997500-1380823726_thumb.j

Then the gloss black

post-76825-0-82411600-1380823752_thumb.j

After I finished for the day and got tyres I thought

It only deserves a picture of the progress!

And it's coming along fast and clean!

Very happy with the wheels and how it sits now!

Managed to get hold of a 6N2 dash so this Saturday was a ball ache fitting that

First off I took the 6N dash out!

post-76825-0-87503700-1380914793_thumb.j

Now you can see what I mean! Whilst I took the dash out I cleaned the carpet

Witch was looking good.. Seeing as it had oil spilt in it

post-76825-0-91487100-1380914900_thumb.j

Was actually really easy

Worth doing cause it's a mega ball ache lol

Cheers mate!!

Ill be keeping an eye on this build, need ideas for after xmas lol. Don't have much spare money till after then. With 2 kids, baby on the way, bills and all that other boring stuff lol

Looking good mate, do you have a closer picture of how the 6n clocks fit the 6n2 dash?

Do the heaters etc all match up OK behind?

Started making a the boot a little tidier two as got two subs off a mate cheap

And the boot is a right mess!!

post-76825-0-66518400-1380999388_thumb.j

Looks horrible and a mess, so I just took every thing out the boot hovered

The carpet and was looking ok.. But I thought I'd make it look a little cooler

So I went on ebay brought some black carpet for a 10er then poped down to B&Q got

Some wood and started to make a boot built sort of thing..

post-76825-0-19277700-1380999575_thumb.j
