cheers fella

How did your wheels go from 8.5 to 9.5 then?

Did you mean to order smaller dishes or not realise the ones you had ordered were an inch bigger or something lol?

Amazing

sorry hasn't been an update in a while but i haven't really been working on the car much after buying a new car that was well needed this car been the new one

here is the update on the polo so far now i'm back on it again

Wow.

good effort!

i loved this car in its old guise, looking forward to seeing what you do with it now

I haven't seen this thread ever, but i litterally just read it from beginnning to end...all 36 pages, and i am completely gobsmacked....

What a car dude, Much respect for the ammount of skill and work you put in... Top marks from me mate, What a banger!!! :-D

looking good mate the wheels are almost simliar to my old set of bbs mahles and they were 9j on the rear with minimal arch work.

What happened to the baby blue or are you still sticking with it mate?

Fuck me bro, everything about this thread is brilliant!!

I reckon you should spray my car haha

All in all though, from buying the scrapper to what it is now, How much have you spent on it?

thanks guys its coming on slowly but will be well worth it.

i'm giving the car a new colour too, a new fresh look so can't wait to see what that looks like, hopefully it should work really well with the cream.

this it the colour i have chosen hope you like

i should be looking at getting the shell in primer by the end of the week if i ever get these fucking arches done lol, such alot of work to fit 9 1/2 j wheels lol.

Thats going to look awesome matey and still diffrent ...cant wait to see it done

Looks immence already!! Hats off to you good sir, I like it!!

Nice one dude!! how have you cambered it? washers or shims?

shims mate got two on either side.

Wish my rear arches curved like that lol.

Don't suppose you know exactly what the 4 axle bolts are which hold the hub onto the axle, what they are called, where to get them etc?

I need to replace mine when I fit my shims.

i went to a place called scotts and bought 4 30mm for the top and 4 40mm for the bottom in hight tensile steel to replace the old ones.

dunno what the thread is tho m8 i think but don't quote me on that.

i also put different hubs on tho for the rear mk2/mk3 golf gti disc set up.

I'm planning to fab. some drop plates for mine, I'm after huge camber so its the only 'safe' way I can see of doing it, bent drop plates... following the air cooled boys!

got a little left to do on the shell then it can be primered

some seriously top work looking forward to see this finished, can see it is going to be something special
