About 2 months ago I bought this breadvan mk2f in indian red. It is a 1993 and has done 43,000 genuine miles from new (only done 10,000 since 1999)

It has had 3 previous owners however 2 of them are farther and daughter. The car is very original and has had VW service history from new

I saw it for sale locally and thought it was worth a look and ended up buying it for a good price

It is a very solid car but just requires a bit of body work doing

Some pictures of when I first got it home

did a bit of engine bay cleaning

It now has new:

Water pump

cam belt

rear drums with bearings

shoes

rebuilt callipers

shoes

brake flexis

discs

rocker gasket

oil

oil filter

coolant

Just a couple of small jobs to do before I can drive it

Debating whether to put 60/40 suspension kit on? however i don't want to ruin the originality

I think dumping it 60/40mm would be grand!

I think dumping it 60/40mm would be grand!

agree!

I agree with the others it would look good on a 60-40 lowering kit,whag did you clean up your engine bay with?

Think i might eventually put it on, i cleaned the bay with bilt hammer degreaser

Save all the animals!

Looks nice though! I concur, it should be lowered!

I love how clean and original this looks, never seen an exhaust heat shield that clean!

I agree with everyone else, 60/40 would look good on this.

haha they have all gone now, it was an older guy who i bought it from

Thanks it is very original, will probably lower it when i have passed my test haha

Have started doing bits of bodywork on it recently. Resprayed the wing in aerosol as there was a scrape from a previous owner, turned out alright for my first time painting a big panel

Love the colour

What wheels are on there ?

They are 'baby g60s' but think they came on golfs originally

Cleaned it up today ready for its mot tomorrow!

It passed with no advisories! the tester also commented on how clean it was underneath!

Sweet!

Not updated in a long time,have taken it to a few shows this year. Hopefully will get lowered soon

some pictures;

Dub fiction

Tatton

The drivers side had quite a few small dents and quite bad laquer peel so i has a go at spraying it myself and turn out alright

Paint looks good in the picture,, nice looking polo and will look good lowered

Couldn't agree more!

Look forward to seeing it when I pop up for the bit off the one you're breaking

Saw this today in the flesh (albeit from a distance), paint looks amazing, and the colour of the bullet steelies goes so well.

Real nice car mate!

How do you get such a good finish with rattle cans ??

Was thinking the same .. Looks great and look forward when lowered ?
