Looks quality mate Cant wait to see it finished, gonna be stunning!

yeah i can't wait too should look sweet and different, cheers for the comment mate

yeah i had the same thought about smoothing the bay no other 6n has it, great minds think alike lol

the bay is going to be blue same as the car engine bottom end will be painted blue and the rest chromed and polished.

good progress on yours mate looking good so far

Sounds good man. I'm doing the bay a bright pink, satin black engine and box (possibly copper plate the box in the future) and polished rocker.

I'd be finished a long time ago only I'm building a Nova for my missus too altho she's doing as much to my bay as I am. Your also doing alot more smoothing than me. What are you doing with the wiper mechanism etc as it'll be on show?

I was gona run my wires in the chassis legs but being a daily driver I didn't fancy it. What you doing with yours?

alright conner your plans sound good mate should look cool i defo love the copper plate gear box saw it in a jetta in pvw looked ace.

my wiper motor will be on display but will be chrome so should look cool. most of my wiring is going down the chassis leg but power cables are going to the boot as i'm relocating batt there also wash bottle will be in boot too.

i have nearly finished the filler work just got to take my dash out to weld the rest of the bulkhead up and fill then its onto the stopper, filling all the little tiny inperfections in the filler like pin holes, once thats done a nice coat of etch primer and high build primer can be put on.

smoothed other chassis leg today got bulkhead to do yet and then the filler work is finished, so looking good so far making good ground, i'm happy.

looking nice...be interesting to see who finishes first...you or mccann since hes doing the exact same thing too his car right at the same time lol

Fuck me I'm only seeing this thread now.

I'd never came across another 6N with a smoothed bay and thought I'd be different and do it. Can't believe after that myself and someone else are doing it with the same engine and carbs on it lmao.

Looks really well. What colour you doing the bay?

*edit* just read back, we started round the same time too :p I can't believe I haven't seen this til now. lol

the ecu ain't going back in and yes you will see the wiper motor but it will be chrome.

the idea behined it is it looks a whole lot smoother and bigger in the bay.

loving your polo, and your build thread, hows it going, any more pics of the smoothed bay? :-)

yeah got a few mate i'll get um up asap

my engine block

took it to shot blasters

gear box, head and rocker in progress of polishing

subframe stripped and new scuff plates welded on

engine mount side of bay

box mount side of bay

bay as is now

thats it so far guys hope you like

Simply stunning - this car really is setting the standard for mk4's

Once the bay is finished and the engine is in you need some serious wheels to top the car off.

Something split, perfect size with colour coded centres. Get on ebay.de and buy something really tasty :-) Or colour coded TH mono as that would just look crazy :-)

Awesome work!!

i agree with the wheels, need something to finish this off. Phenomenal time and effort. love it mate! :)

i was thinking suming like these

I liked it on starmags tbh

i love this car looks mint man nice work :)

thats gonna look stunning when its all painted up and engine in,and the wheels would finish it off a treat,top work dude. :-)

THANKS GUYS FOR YOUR COMMENTS REALLY GOOD TO HERE WILL BE UPDATING SOON AFTER I GET MY ASS BACK ON IT.

Was talking to a mate today about your motor and how I think its inspirational, congrats so far :) keep up the good work
