So I thought I would start a bit of a project post I picked this mk2 breadvan up couple of weeks ago as a non runner it was running until a couple of weeks ago now there is no spark so am in the process of fault finding the problem so I can get her running

I'm hoping it's nothing major that needs doing to get her running sweet any advice greatly appreciated

If that's tornado red paint it's in good nick It normally turns tornado pink.

You want to get a Haynes 1982 -1988 (or 1990?) with the hand drawn cutaway Polo on the cover and look at chapter 12 section 5

Hall sender, ignition amp and coil testing is covered.

So I thought I would remove the door card and have a look see why the passenger side window wouldn't move at all and I was greeted with this .......................

So now I need to replace the mechanism as it has been bodged with a plank of wood.... oh the joys

I thought I found some demon fixes in my breadvan but damn that plank! Lol

Sometime you just have to laugh with the bodges you find when you buy a car!

Eheh... Pretty awesome that woodish extra!

Two cable ties used, and black ones not the flimsy white ones. Looks like a reasonable quality repair to me, although I would have put a 3/4" woodscrew in top and bottom to be safe. :)

thats a side impact bar

Finally got around to ordering a new ignition amp and well what do we know it fired up so I am so happy. In total this car so far has only cost me £60 including the price for the car [emoji3]
