Hello people. me and craig ( p20dub ) found me a car last night so the project can begin finally.

Rat look steelies look sweet lol

Nice base, look forward to seeing updates!

Looking good - cool colour.

Does make me wonder about the quality of the painting used on later VW wheels though lol - I've got 8 of the steelies from a Mk3, and they are all as they came out the factory near enough, and 2 Mk4 steels and they are ROTTEN. Same with my mates Mk4...

Any wheel plans yet then?

OHH!! lucky me thats the 3rd polo ile be helping to modify :) WOOP :lol:

found her one then craig! looks cool, look forward to seeing progress!

if craigs helpoing I'm sure iots going to be very nice so cant wait gfor the updates

Nice motor..Oh i see this is what craig was texting me about!

Looks good! Can see its potential :) Can you drive or is it gonna be sat at craigs house for a while?

Well i would be driving it if my insurance docs hurry up and arrive but the post office wont except a faxed cover note so i cant get her taxed! So its stuck at craigs awaiting all the new goodies i have just bought her ;) haha xx

Ooo care to spill? Or is it secret ! :(

Went to see a 1.4 the other day, loads of laquer peel on about 6 pannels other wise i would have brought it. it looks like salmon colour. Keep us updated.

good base needs a good clean

Ooo care to spill? Or is it secret ! :(

Haha well its kind of a secret but i bought a new grill and a couple of other bits nothing major just yet ;) part from my coilies!

I'm not going home tonight because I'm out in Portsmouth for my mates birthday, I bet ill come on here tomorrow and there will be pictures of her all in bits lol! Craig wants to make sure shes working properly!

Yea she does need a good clean, craigs job for the weekend :lol: haha only joking I'll be out with my pink sponge, i just hope its a nice day! :D

Just found out there is going to be a postal strike :-( its going to take ages for everything to get to me! xxx

hey em! looks loverly... i like the colour what did you describe it as to me was it 'rose'? cant wait to see what craig helps you do!

Thank you hun! Well when i bought it he said it was rose-quartz so until we had a look at the codes last night thats what i was telling everyone it was :lol:

looks good whats your plans for it?

Well obviously the engine is the 1st thing that needs sorting. It didnt come with any service history so Craig has said i need a new Oil Filter & Air Filter. Check the Cambelt etc. Then when the coilies get here they're going on. I'm going to clean up the wheels to start off with, well until next month when i will be purchasing my new wheels...not sure what ones just yet though! (open to suggestions!) love the chrome steffan rs's that are in the for sale section. If i could stretch to those lil beauties this month then i would have them right now! After that the plan is bodywork (i want custom bumpers too) & respray, interior etc! So much to do & I'm not sure in what order yet but its all going to be being done eventually! I would say what colour but i want it to be a surprise :D

:lol: i just need the funds to go with all these lil ideas in my head :lol:

Right here we go, muggins has been cleaning up the engnie bay 2night. i couldnt help myself. :lol:

I just kept looking at it all shitty and thinking I'm not working on that untill its presentable. so all the muck has gone from the painted parts. I've started to polish the cam cover and I've removed about a tree full of leaves :lol:

: Started cleaning engine bay

: Started polishing cam cover

: Cleaned out pollen filter

: Removed a tree full of leaves

Hope you like Em and Clubpolo :lol:
