complete utter perfection !

awesome car

I've never liked nor understood all this roof rack malarky.

However, the car itself is absolutely beautiful. You have completely turned it around and it is a credit to you. Fantastic results inside and out.

Its probably just the light, but in the side shot @ the Belgium show, it looks like its got a dent on the rear quarter - just in front of the fuel filler but lower down, the sill looks distorted too? Please tell me its not damaged?!

my god who needs porn when you have pics like that

i have a 89 saloon but i would love a car like yours m8. and now i'm sad thanks a lot (ha ha )

Cheers for all the comments guys :-D

Nice one fella on the the award, I've always said yours is the best and this just confirms it again.

I’ve got to find you at edition to get you to let me have a proper look around your car....one word.............INSPRATION!!!!!!!

Alreet mate, yeah should be at edition in it, I really need to sort out the paintwork in a few places, its not that great in some areas. Probably wont get it done before tho. I think your car is much cleaner than mine mate, I was loving it at edition last year.

Yep the sill is distorted, the original one was fooked as was the jacking point behind, me and my mate did all the work at my parents so its not a professional job by any means, however I love it so thats the main thing!

Thanks again for all the positive comments

That car is sweet as a nut... So nice to see another VeeDub rescued, restored & loved...

The wheels are the best part... The car is lowered perfectly, but the wheels make the whole car... I would love to pur them on my car, but i dont want to rip you off!!!

Kudos Lovejoy... Say hello to Tinker & Lady Jane... Made me laugh anyway!!!

Forgot to ask, where did you get those Bumpers??

Haha, cheers mate.

Unfortunately the wheels have been sold! They'll be gone this friday, gutted to sell them but I really needed the money! Not too sure what I'll replace them with but it'll probably be some time next year before I do.

I got the bumpers with the car, I've got another set from another mk1 I owned that are stashed in my loft but they're not for sale, just incase anything happens to the ones on the car.

Hopefully over winter I'm going to fit the twin 40's and smooth a few areas of the bay, we'll see what happens

I've got like 15 pics of this car at vwnw last yr at taton. this car is sweet

my fave car on this site. may i ask how u retrimmed ure interior or did u pay some1 to di it?

Cheers mate! I got them retrimmed by Db cartrim in Blackpool, I asked to get the headrest removed and retrimmed to look similar to beatle seats.

Picked my new rims up at the weekend, will update as I go along

^^^ did they ever get fitted?

Nope, I'm getting a garage at my house this month so can finally start work on it again

Pure porn man, doubt I will ever manage to sort a car as well as this.

Currently looks like this! Found a few bits that need welding

Cannot believe such a perfect polo lives in cheshire! whereabouts are you fella?

Looking forward to seeing some more progress!

Cheers mate. I live in Shavington, between Crewe and Nantwich.

Ah I'm in macclesfield. Any ideas when it will be ready for show?

Cool, one of my mates lives in Mac.

No idea mate, hopefully some time next year> I want to get it painted this summer

Hows this going Lovejoy? Keep checking but no updates.

Only saloon I've ever liked to look at.

Cheers dude. Its a bare shell at the mo, one thing led to another and I'm basically redoing the whole lot! Will post some pics up soon

I love this, cant wait to see more

I'm only working round the corner from shav btw, (bentley) So if you ever need a hand give me a shout, I'm more than happy to help in any way i can

Love this!

The Ronals will look nice :),(i hope thats what they are lol)

Adam.

Cheers Tramp, appreciate the offer mate. What do you do at Bentley?

The wheels are compomotive turbo, so similar :)

Will get some pics up next week, theres nothing exciting just of what welding has been done

Heres a few pics I took tonight, finally!

Heres a pic of the passenger side A pillar, this was replaced with a piece that Vic kindly gave to me. Thanks to Jims awesome welding this looks like it was always there

Heres the repair done in the engine bay where the expansion bottle was, just needs a bit more grinding and a skim of filler.

Heres the passenger side sill area waiting to be welded, hopefully will be done soon.

Passenger side floor repair, needs grinding back still

Inside all the sound deadening has been removed, just a little surface rust apart from the massive hole in the bulkhead!

The main thing I've been doing is removing all the stone chip from under the arches, the drivers side is now done apart from a little bit up in the turret, no rot was found luckily. I dont really want to redo the stone chip after all the work I've done removing this but I'm guessing if I just paint under here as it is it'll just chip off? Does anyone have any ideas?

Think that'll do for now, sorry theres nothing exciting!
