Comments: I bought the loon for the crazy some of £50. I wasn't exactly sure what to do with it but after putting it through an MOT she turned out to be a sound little runner so I've used her daily for the last couple of months. Also handy to have around for 'reference purposes' while working on the mk1!

I've spend more on the tyres than on everything else for the car

More details & pics when I get chance

Dude, get your lightwieghting self to the polo show or i'll give you a slap.

Also you old leaky barn you were on about looks wicked, can i have it and turn it into a house please :-D

Looks sweet dude! Loving the wheels i gotta mk2 square n a mate of mine selling some p slots. Dint think they'd suit but after seeing them on your loon i think i might just take em off his hands!!

that looks sweet! i agree with the price on the tyres, i got the same size on my p-slots and they cost me alot of my hard earned cash

P-Slots are awesomeness! Loving the car mate!

Please dont tell me this is my old car that i sold for £50?!?!

C reg?

Yup mate this is the one!

Yup mate this is the one!

Ah, i see me and this car have already met then. The plan was that i was gunna nick the engine and the boot spoiler, never did manage it

Yup mate this is the one!

Daaaaaaamn!

Ever since selling it I've been wanting another one! Best memory in that car was when it beat my mates 1.2 16V corsa to 60, he was seriously unhappy, even more so when i told him how much it cost me!

Yet another very tidy saloon.

£50 eh? Crikey thats a bargain!

Just noticed its a Formel E, does it have SSA and more importantly does it work?

It doesnt have SSA, just got the 4+E box I'm afraid.

Few more pics,

As I got it

Cleaned up

Now

Still a sound runner then? This was by far the most reliable car i've ever owned!

Give me a shout when you're ready to get rid, i wouldnt mind owning it for a 3rd time :lol:

Yup sound as you like, only had a few minor issues with the carb (as always) and needed a new coil a few weeks ago. I love cheap motoring!

I'll bear that in mind mate but I really don't think I could buy anything better with what I'd get for it :) If the engine goes bang I'll just put her into storage and G it in a few years...

that is lovely :-D and fancy that iv got one as a runabout while i do my mk1 so

SNAP!

both are cars of the past but their gonna be the future too

i dont know but the 1.3 out of my crashed 87 squareback would for £50! hinting

mk2 lump will not fit mate, most of golf engines are talkblocks and mk1-3 polos are only equipped for shortblock lumps without serious modification

looks great! got a his res version of this??
