chris`s polo coupe. big plans, small time frame.

how do

i had been wanting a car to fiddle with if you like, mess about with engine stuff, usual vw parts swapping, and end up with a light kick ass little country road blaster.

i currently also own a 92" corrado VR6, which i couldnt bring myself to sell in order to get a polo, so i just bought another car haha, I've owned the corrado for nearly 2 years now, and shes reached a point where if i start playing with her, ill spoil her.

- 288mm brake upgrade with EBC pads

- de-cat and stainless cat back

- full heated corrado storm leather interior

- hertz sound system upgrade (descreet)

- fully polished inlet mani/rocker cover

- coilovers

heres a couple pics of the corrado.

now the polo

i picked her up last weekend, she has sadly BARELY been driven the last 7 years, most of the mileage shes done was covered a long time ago, it took a fair bit off effort to get her going from the offset. but once she was running sweet, i headed off on the 130+ miler drive back home, to which she never missed a beat.

mid buying the car, fixing the car and at the humber bridge car park;

as far as mods go, there havnt been that many so far, i have used the old gear gaiter of my corrado to replace the what was once vinyl one, replaced the steering wheel with a mk3 golf GTI one, painted the wheels with a paint brush (I'm changing them in 2 weeks time) and cleaned. as from what i can tell, she hadnt been cleaned propperly in 7 years....

and here is how she is at the minute after a good clean,

i have a fair few plans for her this weekend, stay tuned
